Social work and social development in Nepal
In this article, we explore the epistemological and practical dimensions of coloniality within social work and social development in Nepal. The study addresses the foundational aspects of these fields, examining their relationship with local communities and cultures. While Nepal has never been formally colonized, persistent colonial continuums are argued to exist within social work and social development paradigms. By building on the theoretical …
Using the Capability Approach in Social Work with Children Experiencing Post-Separation Parental Stalking
This article analyses Finnish children’s experiences of post-separation parental stalking as a form of domestic violence and explores how the capabilities approach (CA) can help social workers understand the issue and support children. The data consist of thematic interviews with eighteen children and young people (aged 4–21 years) whose father or stepfather has stalked their mothers after separation. The theory-driven data analysis was carried o…
Cross-national insights into social workers’ multi-dimensional moral agency when working with child abuse and neglect
This paper analyses social workers’ moral agency in addressing child abuse and neglect. We argue that ethically sound social work requires the capacity to exercise strong, multidimensional moral agency. The contribution is based on a qualitative interpretative meta-synthesis of four studies representing different forms of child abuse and neglect in varied contexts. Drawing on our analysis, we identify three thematic categories of moral considerat…
My Stage
This article discusses how art-based research can function as a decolonizing research method. Its analysis is based on the collaboration of social work and art education disciplines for advancing social justice and deconstructing power dominances. Empirically, the research builds on a participatory theatre project, “My Stage,” with immigrant women. The project was established as part of a larger interdisciplinary project, “Art Gear,” in Northern …
In-Between Space/Time
This article analyses the ‘European refugee crisis’ in the context of Northern Finland, building on the concepts of exceptionality and affect. Conventionally, exceptionality is conceptualised from the perspective of the state that does not enable analysing exceptional situations in their broader social context. A shift in focus is required to understand how people perceive and experience exceptionality and what kinds of affects this involves. Bas…
