女权主义社会工作的明确目标是揭示和批判性地分析性别权力,将其作为一个动态的、历史的和结构性的概念嵌入我们的世界,并动员和采取社会行动来挑战这种权力。这是对社会工作专业核心价值观的承诺的组成部分,其中包括对人权、社会正义和职业操守的承诺。这本经过编辑的藏书集提供了一系列学术和实践者奖学金,以集中女权主义理论、价值观和知识,并将其应用于社会工作实践、理论和教育。它与女权主义思想结合,重新强调和聚焦性别的中心地位及其与其他身份轴(如社会阶级、种族、残疾、性取向和年龄)的交叉点,以便理解和分析社会工作实践。这本书及时提醒人们,女权主义调查为成功应对当代挑战提供了社会工作,适用于从业者、学者、教育工作者、学生和其他关键护理专业人士和政策制定者。
Rethinking Feminist Theories for Social Work Practice
Feminist social work has clear goals to expose and critically analyse gendered power as a dynamic, historic, and structural concept embedded in our world, and to mobilise and take social action to challenge that power. This is integral to a commitment to the core values of the social work profession, which include a commitment to human rights, social justice and professional integrity. This edited collection brings a range of academic and practitioner scholarship to centre feminist theories, values and knowledge as they apply to social work practice, theory and education. It engages with feminist thinking to re-emphasise and refocus the centrality of gender and its intersections with other axes of identities such as social class, race, disability, sexuality and age, for understanding and analysing social work practice. This collection is a timely reminder of what feminist inquiry has to offer social work to successfully address contemporary challenges and is applicable to practitioners, scholars, educators, students and other key care professionals and policy makers.
