Decolonizing social work education: Examples and reflections on inclusionary and exclusionary processes
This article considers issues of coloniality in social work education in Germany. As Quijano (2000) and Mignolo (2009) have identified, even though we are largely in a post-colonial context, ideas of coloniality are deeply embedded in everyday structures, institutions, and practices throughout the globe. Coloniality ensures that particular structures of power remain stable. We examine these power structures in the context of social work education…
Exploring semester abroad as a model for developing competencies for international social work
Student exposure to international contexts can support students to develop a variety of knowledge, values and skills for social work practice in a globalised world. While various models of internationalisation in social work education exist, semester abroad models have received scant attention in international social work. This article presents perceived learning outcomes for German social work students who participated in an integrated semester …

Asking the Critical Questions: An Evaluation of Social Work Students' Experiences in an International Placement
Preparing social work students for the demands of changing social environments and to promote student mobility and interest in overseas employment opportunities have resulted in an increasing demand for international social work placements. The literature describes numerous examples of social work programmes that offer a wide variety of international placements. However, research about the actual benefit of undertaking an overseas placement is sc…
Family Group Conferences and Cultural Competence in Social Work
Family Group Conferences (FGCs) as a method of preventive work came into being over two decades ago. The FGC approach arose from a minority cultural perspective and the rising numbers of Maori children in state care in New Zealand. Two decades after the Family Rights Group first championed FGC in the UK, it is a great concern that we know little or nothing about how such an approach is being utilised with culturally diverse families in the UK. Th…
Contributions of positive psychology to peace: Toward global well-being and resilience
In this article, we analyze the relationship between positive psychology and peace psychology. We discuss how positive emotions, engagement, meaning, personal well-being, and resilience may impact peace at different levels, ranging from the personal and interpersonal to community, national, and global peace. First, we argue that an individual's positive experiences, personal well-being, and personal resilience, as defined in current positive psyc…
A Delicate Balancing Act: Negotiating with Gatekeepers for Ethical Research When Researching Minority Communities
Research and processes of knowledge production are often based on racialised and imperialistic frameworks that have led to either the exclusion or the pathologisation of minority groups. Researchers address issues of exclusion by adopting recruitment strategies that involve negotiating with gatekeepers to ensure the inclusion of minority or marginalised groups. This often involves in-depth scrutiny of gatekeepers and requires the researchers to n…
Strategies for critical reflection in international contexts for social work students
International contexts provide social work students with the opportunity to develop knowledge of international social work, global citizenship and cultural competency. While these contexts are powerful sites of learning, there is a need to ensure that this occurs within a critical framework. The paradigm of critical reflection is used to facilitate this and has been popular in international programs. In this article, we develop this further by de…
