Intersectional Identities of Men and Their Influence on Children's Gender Socialization in Family Settings
Gender socialization is a lifelong process that guides children in shaping their identities, opportunities, and perspectives during early years. Within the family environment, men hold a pivotal position, influenced by tradition, economic factors, and family structure, which significantly impacts the socialization of children. This systematic review examines the intersecting social identities and systems of power that shape men's roles in the gen…
Collaborating for Justice
In this article, authors examined the integration of religion and spirituality in developing Timor-Leste’s first university-level social work degree, reflecting the nation’s unique socio-political and cultural context. Development drew on Australian social work principles (AASW, 2024) to ensure alignment with professional standards, while faith perspectives were embedded for local relevance. Although culturally responsive practice is common in Eu…
Critical social work and co-design
Co-designing with service users is an increasingly common practice in social and community service organizations and one that graduate social workers are likely to encounter. The potential benefits of using co-design for social work are that service users become active participants in problem solving and develop creative solutions to social issues that may not be achieved by more traditional methods of intervention. However, co-design in social w…
Prevalence and risk factors of food insecurity during pregnancy
This study highlights a frequently overlooked situation in French Guiana that is likely to affect the health of children at the very beginning of their lives. Peer-based programs or government financial assistance programs could help strengthen the ability of the poorest households with pregnant women to cope with food insecurity
Canada’s Official Languages Act, Border Imperialism, and the Surface Tension of Water
This paper examines how Canada’s Official Languages Act (OLA) reinforces the socio-political constructs of language barriers and linguistic borders. Questions addressed are: in Canada, who do linguistic borders serve, how do linguistic borders function, and what are the effects of linguistic borders? The theoretical framework draws from raciolinguistics and border imperialism. The method, a socio-diagnostic critique, juxtaposes the discursive pra…
Integrating design thinking into social work education
The contemporary context of Australian social work education creates opportunities for social work educators to reimagine curriculum design and delivery. We propose that design thinking offers one means of broadening approaches to social work teaching in creative and innovative ways. With a focus on the application of knowledge to industry ‘problems’ and ‘person-centered’ solutions, design thinking may complement the social justice values of soci…
El cartel del Icaic (Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos) como construcción de la imagen de la Revolución Cubana
El cartel de cine del ICAIC (Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos), como medio de comunicación visual, rompió radicalmente con los viejos cánones y se utilizó para construir la imaginería de la Revolución Cubana. Con grandes influencias de las escuelas del cartel polaco, checo, japonés y estadounidense se convirtió en un cartel reconocible por su colorido, forma de impresión y por establecer una gráfica que sirvió no solo para a…
News media representations of people receiving income support and the production of stigma power
People receiving working-age income support payments are often stigmatised as morally and/or behaviourally deficient. We consider the role of the media, as a potential source of structural stigma, in perpetuating negative characterisations of people in receipt of either the Disability Support Pension (DSP) or unemployment benefits (Newstart) during a major period of welfare reform in Australia. Newspaper articles (N = 8290) that appeared in Austr…
Reconceptualising Social Exclusion
The application of free‐market principles to welfare reform in western industrialised nations is underpinned by contentious assumptions about human behaviour. In the postwar era, welfare policies largely considered disadvantage and exclusion as structural problems of the economy and society generally; disadvantaged individuals were considered ‘victims’ of their environment. More recently, conservative contributors have re‐emphasised disadvantage …
