Advocating the use of metaphor in teaching and learning critical self-reflection
Critical self-reflection has been identified as key to supporting the ongoing development of social work/welfare professionals. However, while social work/welfare students in higher education are willing, they find critical self-reflection highly confronting and struggle to engage in the higher-order, abstract, and imaginative thinking required for the task. Creative dimensions of critical self-reflection processes in social work/welfare are not …

The paper draws o…
Desire, “Narrative Hunger,” and Alterity
This essay examines the ways the biographer-narrators of Carol Shields’s Jane Austen (2001) and Alice Munro’s “Meneseteung” (1991) exploit the dialogic richness inhabiting the borders between biographer and subject, where “two voices, two accents . . . come together” to “fight it out on the territory of the utterance” (Bakhtin, “Discourse” 360). Both narrators probe the potentially “outrageous privilege” (Emerson xxxvii) of framing the subject in…

Guidance regarding how workers build personalised professional relationships while operating in a …
