This edited collection examines women journalists' experiences and
obstacles in South Africa's (SA) democracy. They exercise power,
and add a vital diversity, but they are routinely harassed in the
online social media space of big tech companies such as Twitter and
Facebook by populist and corrupt politicians and their supporters.
Using SA as the case study, this book examines attempts to curb
women journalists' freedom combining theory and first-hand
accounts. The target audience for the book includes scholars of
political philosophy, gender, media, communications, NGOs, media
freedom activists and journalists.
Excellent social work education and training is vital for ensuring
best practice, and it is important to understand the key approaches
and methods in order to provide the best teaching and ensure
effective learning. This volume provides an overview of social work
education, including the background and current context. It covers
the key debates surrounding social work education, such as the
evaluation of social work education, the use of IT,
research-mindedness, and the effectiveness of interdisciplinary
education. The book also offers guidance on effective teaching and
learning approaches tailored to the needs of social work educators,
covering teaching within a higher education institution, on student
practice placements, and in post-qualifying settings. This will be
an indispensable text for educators and trainers in the field of
social work.
The end of World War I saw the former German protectorate of
Togoland split into British- and French-administered territories.
By the 1950s a political movement led by the Ewe ethnic group
called for the unification of British and French Togoland into an
independent multiethnic state. Despite the efforts of the Ewe, the
United Nations trust territory of British Togoland was ultimately
merged with the Gold Coast to become Ghana, the first independent
nation in sub-Saharan Africa; French Togoland later declared
independence as the nation of Togo. Based on interviews with former
political activists and their families, access to private papers,
and a collection of oral and written propaganda, this book examines
the history and politics behind the failed project of Togoland
unification. Kate Skinner challenges the marginalization of the
Togoland question from popular and academic analyses of
postcolonial politics and explores present-day ramifications of the
contingencies of decolonization.

Social care needs excellent leaders now more than ever. Effective
leaders aim high, listen to what the service users want and need,
inspire their staff and continually question what they are doing
and why. This book draws together the latest research on
fundamental leadership issues in social care, discussing
collaborative leadership and the importance of place-based
development, exploring the key disciplines of supervision,
management and leadership and examining the purpose of a learning
framework for social care. Comparative approaches are also provided
by practitioners working outside of social work, placing leadership
development in context across the public, private and voluntary
sectors and presenting authoritative guidance from an international
perspective. Leadership in Social Care will appeal to social care
practitioners and service providers, academics, researchers and
students who are passionate about making a difference for the
people who use their services.
