Reimagining Social Work Education in Our Turbulent World (Social Work and Society)

The basic principle of social work underscores the profession’s commitment to establishing and sustaining a society with peace, prosperity, and equality. This volume outlines the ways we can educate the new generation of social workers with skills, training, and knowledge that can work towards bringing about meaningful change in the world. With contributions from Canada, Georgia, Indonesia, the Czech Republic, Spain, Australia, Norway, and Italy, the authors address the following questions: • How can social work education instil trust, inclusivity, and respect for diversity among graduates? • How can social work teach graduates to celebrate differences and to generate a powerful sense of togetherness among different population groups? The book will be indispensable to teachers, researchers, and students of social work, education, sociology, diversity, exclusion studies, and social welfare. It will also appeal to practitioners and policymakers working within social development.
