This highly accessible guide equips community work and related
professionals and students to make the best use of theory in their
work. Linking contemporary theory and practice, the book guides the

practical guide distils 21st century thinking for community workers
and associated professionals such as social workers, health workers
and local government community policy and planning staff. It is
essential for all those concerned with social justice, inclusion
and equality, and those who wish to underpin their practice with
contemporary theory.
This book sets out a new and distinctive means of conceptualising
research in the field of Education: 'Freedom Research'. Freedom
research is a conceptual understanding of research free from the
strictures of orthodoxy; which adapts or knowingly critiques
conventions about the ways in which research should be conducted.
Underpinning this concept is the argument that the conventions of
traditional approaches to research in education may be both
confidence-sapping and constrictive to both the early career and
mature educational researcher. By critiquing the boundaries of a
socially constructed discipline, the researcher may then be
liberated to research with freedom, creativity and innovation. This
pioneering volume will assist the researcher to become more
autonomous, and by extension more confident, in their own research
practice. It will be of appeal to scholars, students and
researchers in Education, of all stages of their career.
