Bringing together the voices, experiences, and expertise of top Canadian scholars, this book helps incorporate sustainability content into social work teaching methods.

FORMATPaperback CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Despite urgent calls for global action, sustainable social work practice, and a solid "green" theoretical knowledge base, North American social work and helping professions have been slow to learn from community activists, acknowledge the international climate emergency, and act collectively to achieve climate justice.Greening Social Work Education examines how social work educators can best incorporate sustainability content into social work curricula, integrate green teaching methods, and mobilize students and colleagues towards climate action, justice, and leadership. Drawing on Canadian content, this collection highlights Indigenous, eco-feminist, collective-action, and multi-interdisciplinary approaches to social work. The book provides a rationale for why the topic of greening is important for social work and the helping professions; discussion of current debates, tensions, and issues; useful ideas related to innovative interdisciplinary theoretical approaches, analyses, and constructs; and practical recommendations for teaching green social work education. In doing so, Greening Social Work Education strives to help social workers and educators gain the confidence and tools they need to transform their teaching and curricula.

Review

"Using a political economy and multidisciplinary approach, this volume provides real-life solutions to address the pressing human and environmental concerns facing the planet. Greening Social Work Education will inspire teachers, professionals, students, activists, policy-makers, and all those working in the human and welfare services to work for change, with clear examples to show the way. By embracing Indigeneity and green-red politics as foundational discourses, this timely book will provide a much-needed resource for many years to come."--Carolyn Noble, Emerita Professor, ACAP, Sydney, and Victoria University, Melbourne"Tremendous global and local challenges posed by ecological, socio-economic, political, and cultural forces are increasing in frequency and impact while nations fall behind in their pursuit of sustainable development. Greening Social Work Education is an excellent example of transforming education towards sustainability in a contextualized manner, in this case the education of social workers to better serve their communities. The transdisciplinary pedagogical approach of bringing together a range of world views, perspectives, and practical case studies to enhance thoughtful, critical academic discussion is a model for all professions to consider replicating."--Charles Hopkins, UNESCO Chair in Reorienting Education towards Sustainability, York University"Susan Hillock has edited a wonderful collection that sends a resounding challenge through the corridors of the academy and the field. Focusing largely on Canada/Turtle Island, this volume draws on Indigenous knowledges and urges movement away from settler-colonialist paradigms. It provides a range of resources to assist social work academics and practitioners in developing new curricula for the profession, and the arguments for the ensuing benefits for students abound. Drawing on examples from the works of English speakers who broke this terrain, Hillock ends on a hopeful note. Hope is a crucial ingredient in initiating and sustaining transformative change."--Lena Dominelli, Program Director, Disaster Interventions and Climate Change, University of Stirling
