Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 8, vol. 44 (December 2014) . - pp. 2078-2094 Titre : Critical Practice for Challenging Times : Social Workers' Engagement with Community Work Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Forde, Catherine, Auteur ; Lynch, Deborah, Auteur Editeur : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : pp. 2078-2094 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : TS Organisation communautaire Résumé : "The contribution that social workers make to communities is integral to the principles and values of the profession but is often ?hidden? and unacknowledged. This paper is an exploration of social workers' engagement with community work approaches in a range of settings in the Republic of Ireland, where managerialism and a climate of austerity pose particular challenges for social work practice. By exploring the findings of qualitative interviews with social work practitioners, the paper examines themes and issues that emerge in the context of their practice settings and considers how community work ideas are enacted in contemporary social work practice. These ideas challenge dominant discourses and emphasise a process of active engagement with communities to counter inequality and injustice and seek change at both community and societal levels. The concept of ?creative activism? is developed to explore the idea of critical practice and the different forms of collective action that social workers undertake. The use of these ideas to strengthen the links between theory, research and practice on a postgraduate qualifying social work degree is discussed. The paper seeks to re-emphasise the place of community work within social work research, theory, practice and professional education."
