It is a prominent discourse in both the health and social work literature as well as being enshrined in organisational policy and human resources training. However, it is a somewhat murky concept in that culture can evoke a multitude of meanings while understandings of competence are context-dependent."

Broadening the Conceptual Lens on Language in Social Work : Difference, Diversity and English as a Global Language / Gai Harrison in The british journal of social work, 36/3 (avril 2006)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 36/3 (avril 2006) . - pp. 401-418 Titre : Broadening the Conceptual Lens on Language in Social Work : Difference, Diversity and English as a Global Language Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gai Harrison, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford university press - GB - Oxford Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : pp. 401-418 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Cardijn Diversité # Langage # Travail social TS Différenciation sociale Mots-clés : Langage  Diversité  Différence  Travail social Résumé : "Language is infused in multiple dimensions of human behaviour, and social work is essentially a language-centred activity. Yet, despite the pivotal position of language to many social work activities, its significance has rarely been explored in terms of difference. Moreover, the linguistic diversity that characterizes the local and global contexts in which many practitioners operate has been given minimal attention in the social work literature. In this paper, I contend that how language is conceptualized in social work both shapes and constrains the way that practitioners perceive issues relating to linguistic diversity."

Language Politics, Linguistic Capital and Bilingual Practitioners in Social Work / Gai Harrison in The british journal of social work, 6, vol. 39 (September 2009)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 6, vol. 39 (September 2009) . - pp. 1082-1100 Titre : Language Politics, Linguistic Capital and Bilingual Practitioners in Social Work Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gai Harrison, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 1082-1100 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Cardijn Langage # Travail social TS Science politique Mots-clés : bilinguisme Résumé : "Social workers have explored the role of language in communication, identity formation, meaning making and representation. However, they have rarely examined the political ramifications of what language is in use when discussing these roles, or how language operates as a form of differentially valued cultural capital that is an influential determinant of life chances. This article draws on an exploratory study carried out with eighteen bilingual practitioners residing in Australia who reflect on how language politics infiltrates their personal and professional identities. Although many informants viewed bilinguality as an asset for practice, they were equally aware of the influential position of English in both local and global contexts, its powers of exclusion, and its role in shaping social work knowledge. The article concludes that greater recognition needs to be given to these ‘language politics’ in social work, especially in terms of recognizing how inequitable relations are maintained through the privileging of certain language practices and processes of linguistic othering."
