Description
Dissenting Social Work: Critical Theory, Resistance and Pandemic by Paul Michael Garrett provides a compelling argument for social work to become more critical and dissenting. This book offers a richly nuanced exploration of the role of social work in society, highlighting the need for greater critical awareness and resistance to systemic injustices. As a leading radical educator in international social work, Garrett brings a unique perspective to this important topic. By examining the intersections between social work, medical systems, and societal structures, Garrett presents a powerful case for a more dissenting approach to practice, one that prioritizes social justice and human rights.
