Social Work and Research in Advanced Welfare States
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-24218-0 (ISBN)
The various contributors in this book explore and exemplify ways in which social work and research are distinctive for advanced welfare states. This involves exploring their connection to professional identities, histories and welfare systems; their associations with academic, theoretical and cultural traditions of collaboration between academic and social work practice, and the distinctive links with community, national policy, governmentality and agency, with respect to forms of knowledge, discourses and conception of social problems.
Written by contributors who have experience of living and working in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Singapore and the UK, this book speaks throughout about problems, methods, systems and ideas in language that is readily transferable and transcends national boundaries of thought and social work practice. It will be read and understood by social work students across Europe.
Kjeld Høgsbro is Professor of Social Work at the Department of Sociology and Social Work, Aalborg University, Denmark Ian Shaw is S R Nathan Professor of Social Work at the National University of Singapore, and Emeritus Professor of Social Work at the University of York.
