Most discussions of this perspective, however, focus on actual practice with clients or service users, not educational contexts. In addition, there is often a lack of clarity about what \"transformative\" really means, both in theory and in practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book brings together a range of contributors to reconsider transformative social work, focusing on concrete examples in academic settings both inside and outside the classroom. They illustrate theories and practices of transformative social work in the academy in detail from different standpoints. Chapters by scholars at all career stages, students, staff, and managers consider all aspects of academic work--teaching and learning, research, and administration--as well as labor that academics perform outside the university. Authors describe their understanding of a transformative perspective as well as the practices that flow from this conception, providing rich detail on how a transformative approach can be implemented. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book stands out for the breadth of its focus, its international contributions, and its openness about the new challenges involved in doing transformative work today. It develops an expansive and systematic understanding of what \"transformative\" can mean across the entire academic and professional context of social work education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Fook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231207018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231207010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.84d","brand":"Jan Fook","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756572635391,"sku":"9780231207010","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e581b38-bfd6-4f09-8645-8007a5d486db.jpg?v=1706593328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transformative-social-work-jan-fook-9780231207010","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
