Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper is a call for social workers to engage in discussions about the future of our profession. It draws on social work history and uses examples of the contributions of radical/socialist/Marxist social workers who faced challenging times and who promoted radical responses for creating a more just society. While the paper focuses on social work specifically, it was developed against a broader backdrop of cross-disciplinary literature of radicalism and critiques of the welfare state and social policy generally. The paper focuses mainly on Canada but because the histories are closely linked, there are also examples from the USA, and Great Britain. It includes a section on the role of social work education and the importance of using critical pedagogy in preparing social workers to advance social change, social justice, and human rights. And finally, some thoughts are provided on how social work might move forward.
社会工作史上对激进主义的反思:艰难时期的前进
本文旨在呼吁社会工作者参与讨论我们职业的未来。它借鉴了社会工作的历史,并使用了激进/社会主义/马克思主义社会工作者的贡献的例子,他们面临着挑战的时代,并促进了激进的反应,以创造一个更公正的社会。虽然本文特别关注社会工作,但它是在激进主义的跨学科文献和对福利国家和社会政策的批评的更广泛背景下发展起来的。本文主要关注加拿大,但由于历史紧密相连,也有来自美国和英国的例子。它包括社会工作教育的作用和使用批判教学法在准备社会工作者推进社会变革,社会正义和人权的重要性部分。最后,对社会工作如何向前发展提出了一些想法。
