Designed for people undertaking a first professional qualification
in either social work or welfare studies to use. This student
cohort can include both Bachelors and Master level students
studying in both the University or Tafe/ Polytechnic sector.
Features up-to-date information on how to effectively use
information and communication technology in social work,
particularly with relevance to Covid. New chapters focus on working
with Pasifika communities, LGBT people and ethics in practice.
Includes realistic case studies and practical examples.
Critical multicultural practice, rather than being a specialism, is
integral to Australian social work. Drawing on critical race
theory, critical multiculturalism, intersectionality and critical
reflection as practice theory, this major new edited collection
challenges many of the dominant assumptions of cross-cultural
social work and provides instead a new model of transformative
engagement. Key concepts are considered, including identity,
culture, diversity and superdiversity, how power and privilege
shape everyday interactions and what is meant by citizenship in the
contemporary context. Part One explores the changing nature of
multicultural practice in Australia, including our society's
changing demographic profile, the impact of asylum and refugee
migrations, race and racism and cultural identity. Indigenous
perspectives and the relationship with multicultural practice are
examined, together with the ethical and legal basis for
multicultural practice. This part concludes with an outline of the
editors' framework for critical multicultural practice. Part Two
draws on contributions from a range of practitioners and offers new
perspectives on diverse fields, including child protection, mental
health, disability, ageing, homelessness and rural and regional
practice. Featuring case studies and insights drawn from across the
spectrum of practice, this book is a vital resource for all social
workers practising in Australia today. '[A] rich and nuanced
analysis of what is happening at the interfaces of our work and the
lives of Australian citizens, [it] articulates ways forward that
are genuine, bold and empathetic.' From the foreword by Professor
Kerry Arabena, The University of Melbourne
