  • There’s nothing sacred about 500 hours’

    Lisa Hodges, Lisa Hodge et al.•ARTICLE•Social Work Education•2026

    Pressure is mounting for changes to social work field education in Australia, and internationally, as serious concerns have been raised about current practicum requirements. The Australian Association of Social Workers’ (AASW) accreditation standards mandate the completion of 1,000 h of placement. This 1,000-h model has attracted criticism because the placement experience becomes synonymous with completing hours rather than the depth and quality …

  • Embedding Sen and Nussbaum’s capabilities in social work field education

    Open Access•Maree Higgins, Christine Morley et al.•ARTICLE•Social Work Education•2026

    Social work field education is a cornerstone of professional formation, yet current models, bolstered by the implementation of the 2024 Australian Social Work Education and Accreditation Standards (ASWEAS) continue to prioritize rigid hour-based requirements over student wellbeing and agency. This article critiques competency-based approaches that reduce complex practice learning to binary measures of individual performance and argues for a shift…

  • Culturally safe practice in residential out-of-home care

    Open Access•Stevie Wright, Christine Morley et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2026•Referencias: 36

    This article critically examines cultural safety practices within a Residential Out-of-Home Care (ROHC) service in Queensland, Australia. Given the persistent overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in the Child Protection system, cultural safety is not merely a professional obligation but a fundamental requirement of ethical and meaningful practice. Employing Critical Thematic Analysis (CTA) within a critical postmod…

  • Resistance as a coping strategy

    Open Access•Joanne Clarke, Christine Morley et al.•ARTICLE•Social Work Education•2025•Referencias: 40

    Resilience is widely viewed as integral to social work practice because of the emphasis on strengths-based approaches with clients and their ability to overcome challenges. However, it is crucial to recognize that resilience is not solely an individual issue but is deeply intertwined with broader structural inequalities and disadvantages. As academics working in field education, we understand that social work students often face significant chall…

  • Activist leadership in social work education

    Open Access•Christine Morley, Linda Briskman et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2025•Referencias: 26

    This article provides an account of the collective activism of four social work academic leaders who formed a coalition with students and trade union advocates to bring about one of the most significant progressive reforms to higher education in Australia in decades. Our campaign, involving a multipronged strategy, resulted in the Federal Government announcing a Commonwealth-funded ‘Prac Payment’ to help 68,000 students (studying social work, nur…

  • Reimagining leadership in social work

    Open Access•Alyssa Venning, Christine Morley et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2025•Referencias: 46

    Understanding activist leadership is vital for the future of social work. This article examines leadership styles and models prevalent in social work, exploring their alignment with one of the profession’s central obligations: achieving social justice through activism. Leadership in social work has historically been framed through managerial or hierarchical approaches with effects of neoliberalism often dictating approaches for the profession. Mo…

  • Australian social work education in the neoliberal university

    Christine Morley, Phillip Ablett et al.•ARTICLE•Critical and Radical Social Work•2025•Referencias: 4

    This article explores the impacts of the neoliberal university on Australian social work education and academics. It presents a critical analysis of empirical data derived from a national qualitative study involving 30 interviews with Australian social work educators. In particular, it discusses the rise of managerial-administrative control within universities, the impacts on teaching and curriculum (including the emergence of student consumer cu…

  • The systemic neoliberal colonisation of higher education

    Open Access•Christine Morley•ARTICLE•The Australian Educational…•2024

    Within the neoliberal university, scholarship, education, students, academic staff, and practices are subordinated to managerial imperatives. University educators are denigrated and displaced by colonising neoliberal practices that systemically invalidate and invisibilise academic work. The present article provides an example of this by critically analysing the corrosive and Orwellian operations of neoliberal managerialism in higher education thr…

  • ‘This Unpaid Placement Makes You Poor’

    Open Access•Christine Morley, Lisa Hodges et al.•ARTICLE•Social Work Education•2024

    While there is growing evidence about the financial burden of completing long, compulsory (mostly unpaid) placements for social work students, this Australian study contemporizes existing research by exploring this issue in the current context (2020–2022), during which time we have experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, the related economic problems, and modified ASWEAS standards. The data is drawn from 372 undergraduate and Masters (qualifying) stud…

  • My Anxiety Was Through the Roof”

    Open Access•Lisa Hodges, Heather Mcintyre et al.•ARTICLE•Affilia•2024•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 11

    Social work practice is not a highly paid or high-status occupation. The historical roots of social work lie in charity work directed toward social needs and poverty, with much of this work previously women's unpaid work. This set the stage for a norm of unpaid labor in the predominantly female occupation. Women who are mature-aged, lone parents, carers and on low income have continuously been the numerical majority within social work. As such, t…

  • Australian Students’, Educators’, and Practitioners’ Experiences of Modified Field Education Standards During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open Access•Christine Morley, Vanessa Ryan et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Social Work•2024•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 4

    Long-standing concerns about the sustainability of social work field education requirements were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) implemented revised Education and Accreditation Standards (ASWEAS) during the pandemic as existing standards had become unworkable. The revised ASWEAS (during 2020 and 2021) allowed greater flexibility regarding how placements could be delivered, enabling student…

    Open Access•Christine Morley, Vanessa Ryan et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2024•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 16

    In Australia, pressure is mounting from multiple stakeholders for a full review of the national social work education standards for field education as evidence grows about compulsory, unpaid placements exacerbating student poverty and the related adverse consequences for students’ learning and well-being. This article reports on the findings of an Australian nation-wide qualitative and quantitative survey that explored social work students’, educ…

  • How Can Critical Reflection Improve Social Work Practice with Children and Families

    Open Access•Christine Morley, Lee Marshall et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2023•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 34

    The impacts of neoliberal managerialism mean that practitioners working in child protection programmes are often challenged to balance social work values, with formal compliance activities to reduce risk. Within this context, what are the possibilities for practitioners to creatively navigate complex practice environments to achieve better outcomes for children and families? And how might transformative research empower practitioners to improve p…

  • Resilience and Resistance in the Community Sector

    Open Access•Joanne Clarke, Christine Morley et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2023•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 20

    The COVID-19 pandemic led to increases in family violence in Australia and elsewhere. In response, organisations in the domestic and family violence (DFV) sector, had to adapt to the emerging public health measures and worked collaboratively to protect the most vulnerable in the community. These services, including courts, rapidly transformed their methods of service delivery that are likely to continue for some time. But what have been the impli…

  • Educating for critical social work practice in mental health

    Christine Morley, Kate Stenhouse•ARTICLE•Social Work Education•2021

    Practising critically in medically dominated settings has been identified as a radical challenge for social work. While commonly acknowledged that the biomedical model dominates most mental health settings, social workers continue to try to carve out a more distinctive role for our profession that aligns with the values of social justice. This paper explores how social work education (specifically critically reflective pedagogies and methodologie…

    Child protection systems within Anglophone countries have been increasingly dominated by neoliberal managerial, risk-dominant paradigms over the past three decades. Assumed to deliver a cost-effective strategy to increase the safety of children, there are many ways this paradigmatic combination systematically undermines child welfare, participation, and well-being. This paper specifically focuses on the ways that risk assessment, neoliberal, and …

    Research into children’s voices continues to receive significant attention due to the limited progress made around the world in meeting Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child: the right to be heard and participate in decision making. However, there is a paucity of research providing insights into children’s voices in family support services linked with the child protection system.

    During the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic, reports emerged that lockdowns were increasing the prevalence of domestic and family violence (DFV) in Australia and across the world. The lockdowns and restrictions were necessary to contain the pandemic. However, leaders in the domestic family violence sector expressed concerns early during 2020 that these lockdowns would lead to the escalation of domestic and family violence. Calling it a shado…

  • From crisis to opportunity? Innovations in Australian social work field education during the Covid-19 global pandemic

    Christine Morley, Joanne Clarke•ARTICLE•Social Work Education•2020

    In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Australian universities have had to radically rethink and reconfigure many aspects of social work education. This has been particularly pronounced for field education, as human service organizations that ordinarily host student placements have also needed to rapidly design remote modes of service delivery in the context of current social distancing requirements, and unprecedented demands for assistance. Pr…

  • Technicist education

    This article seeks to explicate one form of technical rationality (ie the technological development of robotics) in social work education and practice. As advances in robotics evolve, questions are raised about the role of technicist education in reducing social work practice to a set of tasks that are repeatable, formulaic and linear (ie tasks that robots are capable of performing). We conduct a critical synthesis of the literature to explore ho…

  • Social work as revolutionary praxis? The contribution to critical practice of Cornelius Castoriadis’s political philosophy

    Social work is a contested tradition, torn between the demands of social governance and autonomy. Today, this struggle is reflected in the division between the dominant, neoliberal agenda of service provision and the resistance offered by various critical perspectives employed by disparate groups of practitioners serving diverse communities. Critical social work challenges oppressive conditions and discourses, in addition to addressing their cons…

    Progressive social work perspectives that draw on both critical theories and postmodern thought, provide highly relevant and appropriate frameworks to inform social work practice in the mental health field. Despite this, the literature overviewed indicates that the majority of social work practice conducted in mental health settings reflects an uncritical embrace of the medical model of psychiatric illness, and therefore largely neglects social w…

  • Promoting activism through critical social work education

    Christine Morley•ARTICLE•Critical and Radical Social Work•2016•Citada por: 9

    The impacts of global capitalism and neoliberalism on higher education can reduce the social work curriculum to competency-based skills acquisition rather than critically reflective, transformative learning. This encourages the promotion of establishment social work approaches aimed at accepting the status quo, rather than critical forms of social work that critique the dominant social structures and power relations that cause broad social divisi…

    This article explores possibilities and responsibilities for social work to further a social justice and human rights agenda in a neoliberal context through the prism of ethical practice. We draw on examples from a progressive social work programme that places critical theories at the centre of curricula and links them explicitly with the distinct value and ethical base of the social work profession. We demonstrate how critical reflection facilit…

  • The Nexus between Feminism and Postmodernism

    In this paper, we provide a critical review of the literature that discusses the nexus between feminism and postmodernism. Further, we argue that the current debates about using postmodernism to enhance structural theories such as feminism are often polarised, and continue to limit the potential for developing critical social work practice and theory. In transcending these dualistic debates, we have explored what the possibilities are for postmod…

    Research into children’s voices continues to receive significant attention due to the limited progress made around the world in meeting Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child: the right to be heard and participate in decision making. However, there is a paucity of research providing insights into children’s voices in family support services linked with the child protection system. This paper contributes new understandings into th…

    Open Access•K Carrington, Christine Morley et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Journal of Social Issues•2021•Citada por: 7•Referencias: 19

    During the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic, reports emerged that lockdowns were increasing the prevalence of domestic and family violence (DFV) in Australia and across the world. The lockdowns and restrictions were necessary to contain the pandemic. However, leaders in the domestic family violence sector expressed concerns early during 2020 that these lockdowns would lead to the escalation of domestic and family violence. Calling it a shado…

  • Critical Reflection

    Open Access•Christine Morley, Charlie O’bree•ARTICLE•Social Sciences•2021•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 60

    Social work practice and education have been significantly impacted by neoliberal governmentality, which can greatly undermine the espoused social justice mission of social work. This study explores the research questions: How might critical reflection support social work practice in neoliberal organisations? And how might critical analysis using insights from critical theorists fortify the findings of critically reflective research? This study u…

  • How Can Critical Reflection Improve Social Work Practice with Children and Families

    Open Access•Christine Morley, Lee Marshall et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2023•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 34

    The impacts of neoliberal managerialism mean that practitioners working in child protection programmes are often challenged to balance social work values, with formal compliance activities to reduce risk. Within this context, what are the possibilities for practitioners to creatively navigate complex practice environments to achieve better outcomes for children and families? And how might transformative research empower practitioners to improve p…

  • Resilience and Resistance in the Community Sector

    Open Access•Joanne Clarke, Christine Morley et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2023•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 20

    The COVID-19 pandemic led to increases in family violence in Australia and elsewhere. In response, organisations in the domestic and family violence (DFV) sector, had to adapt to the emerging public health measures and worked collaboratively to protect the most vulnerable in the community. These services, including courts, rapidly transformed their methods of service delivery that are likely to continue for some time. But what have been the impli…

  • The systemic neoliberal colonisation of higher education

    Open Access•Christine Morley•ARTICLE•The Australian Educational…•2024

    Within the neoliberal university, scholarship, education, students, academic staff, and practices are subordinated to managerial imperatives. University educators are denigrated and displaced by colonising neoliberal practices that systemically invalidate and invisibilise academic work. The present article provides an example of this by critically analysing the corrosive and Orwellian operations of neoliberal managerialism in higher education thr…

  • ‘This Unpaid Placement Makes You Poor’

    Open Access•Christine Morley, Lisa Hodges et al.•ARTICLE•Social Work Education•2024

    While there is growing evidence about the financial burden of completing long, compulsory (mostly unpaid) placements for social work students, this Australian study contemporizes existing research by exploring this issue in the current context (2020–2022), during which time we have experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, the related economic problems, and modified ASWEAS standards. The data is drawn from 372 undergraduate and Masters (qualifying) stud…
