Cordoba","doi":"10.1080/0312407X.2023.2135361","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0312407X.2023.2135361","url":null,"abstract":"When reflecting on the consistent theme threaded through articles in this themed Issue on Promoting Dignity, Inclusion, and Systemic Reform and looking at the state of the world, I can’t help but fluctuate between hope and despair. We continue to witness unprecedented events to the degree that the word “unprecedented” has almost lost its meaning. What is clear is that the world is facing unparalleled levels of social and environmental crises. Humanity cannot continue down the same path as we collectively face the ever-growing crisis of climate change and global inequality, compounded by the Covid-19 pandemic. The legacies of colonialism and neoliberalism, among numerous other factors, have created systems and structures built on exploitation, inequality, obsessive growth, and hyper-individualisation that are not sustainable. Without urgent action, this situation may lead to environmental and social collapse, making the need for systemic advocacy and change all the more pressing. The United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) exemplify both the possibilities and barriers towards global action. The SDGs are a non-binding (barrier number 1) resolution signed by all 193 UN member states, yet it is those same states that are the biggest barriers to action. The SDGs lay out a series of 17 goals and 169 targets that countries must meet by 2030. The goals recognise the varied and systemic dimensions of sustainability and that all rights are interconnected and inalienable. For example, we will not achieve climate action (SDG 13) without gender equality (SDG 5), and so forth. As of 2022, not a single member state is on track to meet a single SDG, with the pandemic setting back progress as we see an increase in extreme poverty for the first time in a generation (UN, 2022b). The SDGs have great potential and offer a pathway for systemic reform (the official name for the SDGs is Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development), a point that is often lost among the bright colours, catchy slogans, and tokenistic implementation (e.g., Australia). The SDGs continue to be further evidence of core problems within the UN system with the lack of accountability, empty symbolism, and perpetuation of Western colonialism (Liverman, 2018; Schultz, 2020; Yap &Watene, 2019). The UN will only overcome these issues if it works in partnership with the nongovernment sector, including social workers, who in many cases around the world are among the groups achieving SDG progress despite the many barriers imposed by member states. While the issues are numerous, climate change is one of the greatest challenges that we face, highlighting the interdependence of all life on the planet. The changes confronting our environment because of human-induced global warming are already profound and extensive, with 2021 breaking all sorts of horrible records. For example, the years from 2013 to 2021 all rank among the 10 warmest years on record, resulting in in","PeriodicalId":47275,"journal":{"name":"Australian Social Work","volume":"76 1","pages":"1 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44378051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

McDermott","doi":"10.1080/0312407x.2022.2074067","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0312407x.2022.2074067","url":null,"abstract":"This October 2022 issue of Australian Social Workmarks both endings and beginnings. What unites the nine papers in this Issue is their clear focus on social work education, practice, and policy, and the value of looking backwards, and then critically evaluating the present in order to remain future-focused. Tilbury et al. (2022) review of the history of child protection policy and practice in Queensland in the 1960s and 1970s demonstrates the value in analytically appraising the social policy field during a time of considerable change and upheaval. Their historical gaze invites us to learn from past events in order to understand as best we might, the rapidly evolving and turbulent context of the present. The articles by Harris (2022), and by Jefferies et al. (2022) are both future-focused, using their research into current deficits in social workers’ knowledge of technology and the use of technology and simulation modelling, emphasising the need for social work education in technology. These articles suggest that we thoughtfully consider how both a better understanding and “curating” of technology for social work has become essential if we are to adequately prepare students for contemporary practice, as well as to explore ways in which technology might be developed to benefit service users. Nouman and Azaiza (2022) and Cordoba and Bando (2022) remind us in different ways, that social workers are already active players in an interconnected world, a location that is only likely to increase and become of greater significance. While Nouman and Azaiza (2022) have reported on their research in Israel with Arab-Palestinian social workers, their message about the importance of recognising the status of minority ethnic groups resonates in countries such as Australia, in a world characterised by ongoing (sometimes forced) migration, population dispersal, and diverse populations. These authors have highlighted the importance of support, resources, and training in ensuring that such minority groups have the opportunity to contribute to policy development and thereby to practice and service delivery. Social work engagement with the United Nation’s sustainable development goals (SDGs) was the focus of the article by Cordoba and Bando (2022), who reported on their innovative student placement project, during which students engaged with the SDGs, encouraging them to learn about advocacy, social justice, equality, and climate change within a global context. Such an opportunity will prove indispensable to their current and future practice. Four articles take us “back to basics”, reminding us that at the heart of social work practice and direct service is a human relationship. Morley (2022) has stressed the centrality of relationship building, noting that in a context characterised by economic and technical rationality, recognition of the time and emotional energy required to build and sustain relationships may become compromised and under threat.
