This article reports on qualitative Australian research that was conducted with 32 workers from Job Services Australia and Emergency Relief agencies. Researchers investigated the operationalisation of assistance for unemployed people to illuminate the language, discourse and processes through which workers and unemployed people were constructed within the quasi-market culture. Findings included individualistic and behaviourist frames, paradoxical…
Australian Workers’ Narratives about Emergency Relief and Employment Service Clients
This paper illuminates two under-investigated, and often intersecting, frontline services accessed by unemployed people. It reports on the narratives of 32 Australian service providers working in emergency relief or employment services during 2012, including perceptions of clients’ presenting issues and problems, and rationale for intervention. Workers tended to use reductionist and individualistic terms to describe complex client issues suggesti…
Connecting Research to Action
In contemporary knowledge societies, scientific research has been emphasised as a key component of effective and accountable service provision. This paper examines commonalities and distinctions between two discourses of research utilisation: ‘evidence-based practice’ (EBP) and ‘knowledge production/utilisation’ (KPU)—the former more prominent in informing the social work canon, the latter with some potential to do so. Specifically, it considers …
The Death of Emancipatory Social Work as Art and Birth of Socially Engaged Art Practice
The growth of socially engaged art practice over the last decade is considered in light of the relationship between social work, art and social change. The question posed is ‘has social work—caught in neo-liberal paternalism—given way to socially engaged art as a medium of social change?’ The paper argues that, as social workers have vacated public spaces of activism and change, so artists have moved in to fill the void and suggests there has nev…
Perspectives on Neoliberalism for Human Service Professionals
This article provides an overview of recent perspectives on neoliberalism, which serve as a foundation for the assessment of neoliberalism’s influence on human services practice. Conventionally, neoliberalism has been conceived of as an ideology, but more recent perspectives regard neoliberalism as an art of government, a thought collective, and an uneven but path-dependent process of regulatory development. We argue that these new perspectives h…
Knowing what we know about knowledge in social work
Influenced by its historical beginnings, the production and modelling of knowledge in social work has become a small but diverse field. Ten key models exploring the nature of knowledge and its production in social work are reviewed against significant ideas from the interdisciplinary knowledge production literature beyond social work. In so doing, the place of holistic approaches to modelling the knowledge production process within social work an…
Sustainable social work
Gray M, Schubert L. Sustainable social work: modelling knowledge production, transfer, and evidence‐based social work This article is a first attempt to present a model of knowledge production and transfer in social work, drawing on the expanding literature on knowledge production. It highlights features of knowledge production in social work, such as the diverse contexts in which knowledge is developed and applied. It argues that knowledge produ…
Turning Base Metal into Gold
This paper examines the theoretical underpinnings of an ongoing, innovative, arts-based social intervention research study in light of contemporary theory on knowledge production. It begins by outlining the nature of the study, which seeks to raise community awareness of domestic violence, and the context in which it is being conducted. Thereafter, it examines the relationship between social work and art and argues that the situated knowledge of …
