Description
Ken Moffatt explores how social work can adapt to a time of widespread instability and uncertainty. He draws on postmodern philosophy's grappling with late capitalism and technology to develop a new approach to reflective practice and critical pedagogy. In this book, Moffatt advocates an ideal of reflective practice that combines direct experience, social welfare, and social justice. Through a series of essays, he examines the implications of postmodern theory for social work practice, drawing on thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Julia Kristeva, Gilles Deleuze, and Félix Guattari. Moffatt offers an approach to practice and teaching that considers the shifting landscape of social change while remaining true to social work's primary concerns of inclusion and justice.
