We don’t talk about Trauma
This article draws upon data from a Canadian study funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. The focus was on how trauma has been experienced by three communities who have been historically marginalized: The El Salvadorian community, Indigenous peoples and those identifying as 2STLGBQIA+. The focus of this article is on the Salvadorian diaspora in Canada, which has the shared experience of historical colonial trauma; on-going…
Essential cogs in the innovation machine”
In this article we explore a Canadian example of how the language of innovation reproduces discourses of neoliberalism in postsecondary education policy documents. How innovation is defined and use
Performativity Culture in Universities
This paper examines the findings of a study we completed into progressive social work education in Canadian schools of social work. In our research, we found that schools of social work offer three key functions for the university: a connection to the community, a space that values diversity and a space of innovation. We investigate these themes in relation to the dynamics of performativity and fabrication. From conversations with those who parti…
Collective Trauma as a Personal/Social Concern for Persons within Marginalized Communities
Redefining social work standards in the context of globalization
English Globalization impacts on all countries, adversely affecting developing countries such as India. Global and national standards for social work education should develop appropriate perspectives addressing the negative feelings of communities. The conception of 'self' as defined by the west needs to be seen in the context of communal relations of the east. French La mondialisation affecte toutes les nations, mais a un impact défavorable dans…
Contradictory Tensions in Anti-Oppression Practice in Feminist Social Services
The implementation of an anti-oppression approach in feminist agencies must deal with contradictory tensions within the model. Feminists imagine anti-oppression as a model of practice that deals with all structures of oppression. At the same time, feminist members of marginalized communities perceive that their particular form of oppression is not attended to in the model. The authors contend that one must understand anti-oppression practice with…
Emerging practices of social work in the Dominican Republic
English This study is based on consultation with governmental institutions working with women and children in the Dominican Republic and the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, which is part of a six-year project funded by the Canadian International Development Agency. We report on some of the preliminary findings and the conceptualization of social work interventions within the Dominican Republic. French Cette étude s’inscrit dans le cadre d…
Community Practice Researchers as Reflective Learners
The article outlines a process for community practice research as a reflective process. Through the interplay of key concepts associated with subjective research–personal engagement, experiential affinity and parallel struggles–and transcribed interviews with community practitioners, the authors elaborate the subjective community researcher posture. Subjectivity contributes to the researchers’ position as learners within the research process. The…
Exploring Citizenship in Contemporary Community Work Practice
The notion of citizenship as a triangular relationship between civil, political and social rights has received a great deal of attention by social scientists. However, the exploration of the relevance of the notion for community practice is relatively new. Interviews with a non. random sample of community workers in southern Ontario, Canada, explored the meaning of citizenship to the practitioners. The findings suggest that satisfaction of basic …
Living for the Brethren
In this article we define British idealism, a thread of Enlightenment thought. We draw upon historical British writings and Canadian archival material to reveal key concepts central to idealism and social work. The article begins by discussing social responsibility based on the idealist premise of Christian immanence. We then discuss the spiritual rationality of the new liberalism. The thought of E.J. Urwick, a key philosopher of British and Cana…
Development of Student Identity
In this paper, the authors illustrate how a diverse classroom can become the cite of the development of social work identity. The authors point out that social work principles of neutrality and objectivity may veil strategies of power that some learners adopt in order to facilitate the formation of a helping identity. Using a Foucaldian analysis of classroom interactions, the authors encourage students to understand that identity which is sociall…
