Description

Intersectionality for Social Workers: A Practical Introduction to Theory and Practice by Claudia Bernard provides a model for integrating intersectionality theory into social work practice. This book explores how understanding the complexities of working with diverse groups can inform social work practice, using case-study examples and practice questions throughout. By examining multiple forms of inequalities and their complex linkages, this book offers an introduction to an intersectional theoretical framework for understanding the lives and experiences of socially disadvantaged service users. It highlights the ways in which intersectionality theory can open up social work practice to new understandings of the systems of oppression that shape the lived experiences of diverse groups. This book is a valuable resource for students on modules related to anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory practice, sociology, and ethics and values in social work.
