Teaching vulnerability, teaching solidarity: Experiences from the international social work classroom
Social work students must engage with the concepts of vulnerability and solidarity to work well with vulnerable people. The context of this study was an immersive exchange module on vulnerable children and families, combining agency insights with self-reflection and groupwork. Discussions of oppression and disadvantage were designed to help students consider addressing personal and structural barriers in solidarity with the vulnerable. This paper…
Using the arts in social work education for short-term European mobility: Evaluating student experiences on an Erasmus+ blended intensive program
European higher education exchange has been reinvigorated by financial support for shorter student mobility phases, with the new Erasmus+ blended intensive programmes (BIPs) combining virtual and physical mobility. Such formats have obvious advantages in social work education, with compact programmes of workshops, agency visits, and cultural activities promoting personal development in richly intercultural settings. The natural focus on experient…
Critical Theory and Radical Romanticism: Hans Thiersch's Lifeworld Orientation and German Social Work Theory
With its long history as an academic discipline, social work in Germany has a substantial theory base. The dominant theory in the contemporary German canon is the lifeworld orientation, most closely associated with nonagenarian theorist Hans Thiersch. This paper reconstructs the theory's late twentieth-century evolution, contextualized for the international reader. Its basis is an analysis of Thiersch's own writing, considered with reference to t…

‘The body and the ear’: An aesthetic education approach for the international social work classroom under Erasmus+ blended intensive programmes
The new generation of Erasmus+ agreements offer funding for innovatively designed compact blended intensive programmes in which international students study abroad together in Europe. The heterogeneity of international social work curricula, coupled with the linguistic and cultural diversity of students, presents pedagogic challenges. Inspired by teaching on such a programme in Germany, this paper theoretically examines an ‘aesthetic education’ (…
Bildung, capabilities, human freedom and human flourishing: Impulses for Social Work
There is international interest in approaches to social work focussing on human development and service users’ real freedoms to act. One such example, established in social work, is the capabilities approach. This paper introduces a related, but internationally less well-known concept from German-language philosophy of education discourses, Bildung. It argues that Bildung represents a valuable additional framework for understanding social work in…
The ‘Right to an Upbringing’—Contrasting Early German and English Child Welfare Legislation for a Case Study in Comparative Social Work History
National child welfare systems are often unalike in their orientation, and can be understood comparatively. Influenced by the principles of historical institutionalism, this article contrasts early German and English child welfare legislation. The first national German system was based on a statute rarely discussed in English-language social work histories: the Reichsgesetz für Jugendwohlfahrt (National Youth Welfare Act). This legislation came i…
The spirit of social pedagogy: The alternative theory base of German child welfare
While the term ‘social work’ has established itself internationally, many countries have alternative social professions with rich histories and distinct theory bases. This article examines a German example by theoretically considering a discipline central to child welfare: social pedagogy. The frameworks of key theorists are presented, reconstructing an intellectual lineage in education discourses and Continental philosophy. The case of social pe…
Alice Salomon: Critical social work pioneer
Early pioneers of critical social work have not always been recognised as such. This paper examines the theory and practice of early German social work researcher, activist, social work author and educator, Alice Salomon (1872–1948) with reference to Fook’s understanding of critical social work. Salomon’s work is characterised by her orientation on social justice, her internationalism, her concern with the structural inequalities that shape clien…
