This paper presents insights into my lived experience as a granddaughter throughout the journey of my grandmother moving from the community into a residential care facility. Despite my intellectual and professional understanding of many of the issues and complexities the journey has been difficult and has ultimately changed my relationship as a granddaughter. Moments of this journey reflected in emails and diary notes are presented along with a critical consideration of the personal and ethical issues. My hope is to provide some insights into how residential services can impact fundamental social dynamics within a family, effectively extending the institutionalisation beyond those who enter care.","PeriodicalId":46151,"journal":{"name":"Ethics and Social Welfare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42061660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Social Work for ‘Liquid Old Age’: Some Insights from an Ethnographic Study of a Hospital Social Work Team","authors":"D. Burrows","doi":"10.1080/17496535.2021.1996619","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17496535.2021.1996619","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This article explores the values enacted by social workers involved in care planning for older people and their implications. The data are derived from an ethnographic study of a hospital social work team responsible for planning and arranging packages of care, almost exclusively for older patients (aged 80+), prior to their discharge, in a large general hospital in the UK. The study set out to explore the nature of statutory hospital social work, how hospital social workers do their work, and how social work fits into the hospital context. The primary methods of data collection were participant observation and semi-structured interviews with social workers, clinicians, patients and carers. Where patients’ mental capacity was not in doubt, social workers were found to be strong advocates of patients’ choices as free individuals. It is argued that the individualistic focus of the social workers’ practices facilitates the production of a precarious existence that can be characterised in Bauman’s terms as ‘liquid old age’, which involves coping with the physical, emotional and social challenges of ageing alone or with little assistance. Depending on an individual’s circumstances, the social workers’ advocacy of personal choice can either be liberating or detrimental.","PeriodicalId":46151,"journal":{"name":"Ethics and Social Welfare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44535568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Access to resources at the disposal of public authorities and the ethico-political standing to call upon them is not distributed equally across all groups in a polity. The political struggles of the Wet’suwet’en against the pipeline occupation of Indigenous land, and the initiatives of Black Americans/Turtle Islanders for ReADdress for Slavery attest to this. 1 These struggles demonstrate that there are forms of past harmdoing that have an effect on, and are inscribed in, present structures and arrangements of the political. This article looks at the past and present epistemic ignorances and power inequalities to co-shape the authoritative political version of wellbeing that lead to ethico-political abandonment and a refusal to renegotiate the structures and institutions in North America/Turtle Island now that Wet’suwet’en and Black Americans (ought to) have an equal ethico-political standing. I demonstrate that the past injustices of colonialism and slavery co-shape the polity’s present and its haveable futures. Acts of democratising the past in the present bestow upon the harmed an inclusion in current political attentiveness and wellbeing that they did not experience from past contemporaries.","PeriodicalId":46151,"journal":{"name":"Ethics and Social Welfare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45233753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brannelly, Ian Calliou","doi":"10.1080/17496535.2021.2004644","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17496535.2021.2004644","url":null,"abstract":"Ethical relations to the past – whether to ancestors, the dead, historical injustices, events with contested interpretations – are complex and often elusive. The representations of history are, as Edward Said put it, not ‘ontologically given’ but rather ‘historically constituted’ (Said 1989, 225). Rather than preserved as a ‘thing’ by this or that established account, ‘the past’ is something with which we are in an ongoing state of negotiation. At points, this process seems especially highly charged. Our call for contributions to this special issue followed the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in June 2020, and a global response calling for an end to racism and colonialisation, an acknowledgement of the presence of past injustices in the here and now. The need for such acknowledgement has been at the heart of other recent high-profile cases and movements, from historic child abuse by high-profile celebrities to #MeToo, and from the moral skirmishes in the UK and US around the removal of statues of those involved in the slave trade, to the October 2021 ruling that the Canadian government must compensate Indigenous children taken from their homes and placed for the sake of ‘assimilation’ in residential homes where many went on to be abused. Distinct ethical questions arise when we are dealing with the past, and with transition. Can people of the past be wronged in the present? With events long in the past, how does responsibility carry over to current agencies not directly involved – to present governments, businesses or institutions? Does ethics sometimes require a revision of how past events and people are commemorated? To what extent is it legitimate to judge beliefs and actions taken as ‘normal’ in previous eras and contexts by standards arising in our own time? In post-colonial contexts, what is the rightful role of ‘allyship’ in resolving past conflict, trauma and oppression – and giving due prominence to the agency and authority of those who have offered resistance? Meanwhile other factors are crucial to how these ethical questions are negotiated. Whose knowledge counts, in getting to grips with historical events? What role can, or should, survivors’ testimony play? What (if anything) constitutes an authoritative account? Our commitment in this special issue has been to address how the harms of the past live in current welfare policy and practices. Terms such as ‘post-coloniality’ and ‘historical abuse’may suggest that somehow the harms at stake exist only in the past, rather than being carried among those currently living. A willingness by governments to take steps to redress those harms may seem to be partial, and non-inclusive of the insights of those affected. Our intention is to foreground both the need for care and criticality in our understanding of ethical relations to the past, and the need to hear the plurality of voices and insights among those affected then and now.

It adopts a feminist psychosocial position which understands everyday lived realities as shifting dynamic entanglements, produced relationally though complicated spatially and temporally expansive material, discursive and affective practices. First, it situates the liberal welfare state as part of a global project of North Western European colonisation which violently establishes a fantasy of whiteness as the human ideal rooted in individual sovereignty and rights to possession (Moreton-Robinson, 2015). Next it unpacks how the historical institutionalisation of care via state welfare sustains ‘white ignorance’; (Mills, 2007) in the face of the contemporary reality of ongoing systematised racial violence of coloniality. Finally, it offers the idea of ‘relational choreography’ (Hunter, 2015a; 2015b) as a way into resisting binary liberal individualist self-understanding underpinning this possessive logic of whiteness.","PeriodicalId":46151,"journal":{"name":"Ethics and Social Welfare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47254134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These changes affect organisations as well as individual workers. Social workers implement social policies in their daily work, and are thus positioned in between policies and clients. This may expose them to feelings of unease in the implementation of certain policies. In this study, we apply the policy alienation framework of Tummers and colleagues (2009. “Policy Alienation of Public Professionals: Application in a new Public Management Context.” Public Management Review 11 (5): 685–706) in analysing the responses of social workers to a major social and health care reform prepared in Finland in 2015–2019. By applying problem-driven content analysis to interview data, we study how social workers responded to the proposals for reform, and how the two dimensions of policy alienation, i.e. experiences of meaninglessness and powerlessness, were manifested. The findings suggest that policy alienation is widespread among social workers and that experiences of powerlessness and meaninglessness are common. The social workers experienced powerlessness in relation to specific policies and practices. They also viewed the reform as meaningless, as it lacked socially relevant goals.","PeriodicalId":46151,"journal":{"name":"Ethics and Social Welfare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49247919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We trace the history of western philanthropy back to its colonial roots exposing its main function as upholding white supremacy by reinforcing patterns of colonial subjugation and dependence. These notions are to this day reflected in charitable projects on the continent which are understood as ends in and of themselves without the need to embed those actions in any serious challenge to existing power dynamics so the status quo may be preserved. Looking at a small niche project in Cape Town, South Africa during the emerging Corona Crisis in 2020, we explore the possibility of an alternative, African-centred philanthropy, which requires an awareness for the voices that continue to be silenced. Using insights from our project, we question the functions and the impact of postcolonial charity on both the ‘recipients’ and ‘givers’ of such charity and propose ways forward for research and action-based alternatives.","PeriodicalId":46151,"journal":{"name":"Ethics and Social Welfare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41443477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
