TY - BOOK A1 - Kleibl, Tanja A1 - Lutz, Ronald A1 - Noyoo, Ndangwa A1 - Seepamore, Boitumelo A1 - Bunk, Benjamin A1 - Dittmann, Annika T1 - The Routledge Handbook of Postcolonial Social Work N2 - The Routledge Handbook of Postcolonial Social Work reflects on and dissects the challenging issues confronting social work practice and education globally in the post-colonial era. By analysing how countries in the so-called developing and developed world have navigated some of the inherited systems from the colonial era, it shows how they have used them to provide relevant social work methods which are also responsive to the needs of a postcolonial setting. This is an analytical and reflexive handbook that brings together different scholars from various parts of the world – both North and South – so as to distill ideas from scholars relating to ways that can advance social work of the South and critique social work of the North in so far as it is used as a template for social work approaches in postcolonial settings. It determines whether and how approaches, knowledge-bases, and methods of social work have been indigenised and localised in the Global South in the postcolonial era. This handbook provides the reader with multiple new theoretical approaches and empirical experiences and creates a space of action for the most marginalised communities worldwide. It will be of interest to researchers and practitioners, as well as those in social work education. Y1 - 2019 PB - Routledge ET - 1.

The conference interrogated the refugee crisis which had been precipitated by Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine. It was organised by Tanja Kleibl, Melinda Madew, Minenhle Matela, Ronald Lutz and Ndangwa Noyoo and held at the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt on 17 March 2022. The conference participants were social work academics, practitioners, students and activists, and it was delivered in a blended mode. Crucially, it was meant to be a call to action to the social work profession around the world, especially in Europe. Also, the organisers wanted to cast a sharp light on the refugee crisis from a social work perspective and highlight the discrimination which was associated with this phenomenon. Indeed, media reports and other accounts had identified this disturbing trend, whereby African and non-European students from developing countries, who were equally fleeing the war zone with Ukrainians, were ill-treated and discriminated against by Ukrainian and Polish security forces. These officials allegedly allowed only Ukrainians and European-looking people to cross the border (Chebil, 2022; Pronczuk et al., 2022).

It proffers an overview on the social development and political measures, from both the Global North and Global South, to prevent COVID-19's spread. It illuminates major social, political and economic challenges that already existed in different contexts and which are also currently being amplified by COVID-19. Curiously, this global pandemic has opened spaces for different actors, across the globe, to begin to fundamentally question and challenge the hegemony of the Global North, which sometimes is evident in social work. Linked to the foregoing and while reflecting beyond the pandemic and into the future, the book proposes that social work must become more political at all levels, and strive to transform societies, global social development efforts, and economic and health systems. This contributed volume of 38 chapters discusses and analyses ethical, social, sociological, social work and social development issues that complement and enrich available literature in the socio-political, economics, public health, medical ethics and political science. It provides various case studies which should enable readers to gain insights into how countries have responded to the pandemic and learn how COVID-19 negatively impacted countries in different parts of the world. This book also provides a platform for the articulation of neglected and marginalized voices, such as those of indigenous populations, the poor, or oppressed. The chapters are grouped according to three main themes as they relate to research on the COVID-19 pandemic and social work in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America: - Analysis: Social Issues and the COVID-19 Pandemic - Strategies and Responses in Social Work: Globally and Locally - Outlook: Looking Ahead Beyond the Pandemic Intended to engage a global, diverse and interdisciplinary audience, The Coronavirus Crisis and Challenges to Social Development is a timely and relevant resource for academics, students and researchers in inter alia Social Work, Philosophy, Sociology, Economics, and Development Studies.

Daraus entwickeln sich Dynamiken zwischen sozialen Gruppen und diversen Identitäten und damit verbunden, gesellschaftliche Inklusions-und Exklusionsprozesse, welche in der Forschung, Lehre und Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt bzw. reflektiert werden. Die postkoloniale Situation beeinflusst weiterhin tiefgreifend die Wissensproduktion innerhalb der Profession sowie den Transfer von Wissen innerhalb der Lehre und Praxis im Globalen Süden und Norden. Da postkoloniale Theorien und Praxisansätze globale Machtverhältnisse und soziale Ungleichheiten, Rassismen, Diskriminierungs- und Stigmatisierungsprozesse in den Blick nehmen, sind sie von besonderer Bedeutung für die Internationale Soziale Arbeit. Am 12. November 2021 werden die Fachgruppen Internationale Soziale Arbeit (ISA) und Flucht, Migration, Rassismus- und Antisemitismuskritik (Migraas) der DGSA eine gemeinsame Fachtagung, falls möglich in Präsenzform, an der Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Würzburg-Schweinfurt (FHWS) abhalten. Im Rahmen der Veranstaltung sollen fokussiert Projekte und Lehrformate im Kontext postkolonialer Sozialen Arbeit vorgestellt, in Workshops ausprobiert, diskutiert und gemeinsam weiterentwickelt werden. Die Tagung wird deshalb partizipativ folgende Fragestellungen ins Zentrum rücken: Wie können postkoloniale Perspektiven in der Lehre und Praxis Sozialer Arbeit verankert werden? Welche Formate sind dafür besonders geeignet? Welche kreativen Möglichkeiten gibt es, Studierenden Aspekte postkolonialer Sozialer Arbeit partizipativ zu vermitteln? Welche Herausforderungen lassen sich dabei erkennen? Diesen Fragen wollen wir uns im Rahmen der Tagung stellen. Dabei geht es auch darum von bereits bestehenden Ansätzen zu lernen, vorhandene Ideen aufzugreifen, sie weiter zu entwickeln und uns dabei zu vernetzen. Die Tagung ist interdisziplinär ausgerichtet und offen für Akteur*innen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, welche unterschiedliche, für die Soziale Arbeit relevante, postkoloniale Perspektiven einbringen wollen (z.B. Soziologie, Ethnologie, Ökonomie, Politikwissenschaft, Theologie, Literatur-und Geschichtswissenschaften, etc…). Das Ziel ist gemeinsam auf den Weg zu gehen, um postkoloniale Perspektiven und dekoloniale Ansätze innerhalb der Theorie und der Praxis Sozialer Arbeit zu stärken.

Alongside new online formats and blended-learning models, new ethical questions and dilemmas arise. These include issues of resources, control and power, access, accessibility, mobility and rising inequalities, positionality of researchers, data protection and the duty of care in social scientific research and education with migrants and other ,vulnerable’ populations. While individual-oriented models which have arguably been a hallmark of the European Social Work practice, come to its limits during the pandemic, communal practices and local self-organized support systems come to the forefront. How can the Global North learn from approaches of the Global South? The symposium draws on this notion of joint learning and raises important questions about the (im)possibility of equal research partnership during times of worsening structural inequalities. This symposium draws on Social Work related research projects in cooperation with partners in Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria and Ethiopia. The situatedness of the research projects has implicit and explicit ethical implications that pointed out the need for postcolonial reflections. The first perspective focuses on critical whiteness in research practice and pandemic-related challenges regarding field access and exchange opportunities. The second part of the discussion calls for situated ethics based in transnational multi-site research with migrating persons. Drawing on the theory of Social Work as a human rights profession in a global context, the final part of the discussion then moves to emphasize the mandate of Social Work researchers, practitioners and education to consider the perspectives of those unheard and unseen in the current discourse. The range of papers point towards the dilemma of a predominantly white Northern perspectives of Social Work profession that is only slowly reflecting upon and researching its own role in upholding and reproducing the colonial matrix of power. This symposium concludes by making some suggestions how to work towards an ethical space of engagement in which power imbalances are recognized and an in-between space, in which one can in fact only stumble forward together, created.

This leads to the development of dynamics between social groups and diverse identities and, connected to this, social inclusion and exclusion processes, which are often not sufficiently taken into account or reflected in the research, teaching and practice of Social Work. The postcolonial situation continues to profoundly influence knowledge production within the profession as well as the transfer of knowledge within teaching and practice in the Global South and North. Since postcolonial theories and practice approaches focus on global power relations and social inequalities, different forms of racism, discrimination and stigmatization processes, they are of particular importance for International Social Work. On November 12, 2021, the Expert Groups "International Social Work" and "Flight, Migration, Racism and Anti-Semitism Criticism" of the German Association of Social Work (DGSA) will hold a joint symposium-if possible in attendance at the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (FHWS). Within the framework of the event, focused projects and teaching formats in the context of postcolonial Social Work will be presented, tried out in workshops, discussed and jointly developed further. The conference will therefore focus on the following questions: How can postcolonial perspectives be anchored in the teaching and practice of Social Work? Which formats are particularly suitable for this? What creative possibilities are there for communicating aspects of postcolonial Social Work to students in a reflective and participatory way? What challenges can be identified? These are the questions we want to address during the conference. The aim is to learn from existing approaches, to take up new ideas, to develop them further and to network. The conference is interdisciplinary and open for actors from science and practice who want to bring in different postcolonial perspectives relevant for Social Work (e.g. sociology, ethnology, economics, political science, theology, literature and history, etc...). The goal is to set out together in order to strengthen postcolonial perspectives and decolonial approaches within Social Work theory and practice.

In this regard, it proffers global perspectives to social development’s responses to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and how the world was impacted by this virus. In essence, it examines a multiplicity of issues pertaining to COVID-19. It must be noted that the issues raised in this book’s chapters are not exhaustive. Nevertheless, they encompass the following: social issues, social work strategies and responses at the local and global level, responses of social work educators and students, and a focus on a post-pandemic global scenario. In arriving at the book’s conclusion, the editors also reflect on their personal journeys, which they had embarked upon when they started writing this book, in dire and perilous circumstances.

It demonstrates the importance of shifting away from the dominant western perspective on knowledge as well as away from the idea of a universal Social Work and focuses on philosophies and approaches of the Global South. Dialogue as praxis, enablement, and empowerment as well as translation and an ethnological view as methods of internationalisation of Social Work are emphasised. Subsequently, perspectives of Radical as well as Green Social Work and postcolonial feminist approaches within the profession are presented, which can contribute to a desired interwoven, mutually supporting Social Work. The outlook shows the importance of international and cross-cultural exchange between social workers. It emphasizes on sharing of and learning about local methods and practices from other parts of the world, to develop common ideas. In this context self-reflection of the profession and social work- ers is crucially value.

The pandemic disrupted the world, exposing inequalities inherent in globalization and the privileged lifestyles of the Global North. Global inequality, rooted in colonialism and capitalism, persisted, with the pandemic exacerbating disparities. The crisis not only affected health but also strained families and exacerbated gender inequalities. In the Global South, vulnerable populations faced economic hardship and inadequate healthcare. The pandemic intensified the global education crisis, disproportionately impacting girls. Moreover, human rights violations became apparent as states and institutions failed to meet their obligations. Structural inequalities and unequal access to healthcare underscored the need for a more comprehensive human rights approach in social work. Social work must address structural inequalities, prioritize community-based solutions, and advocate for international solidarity and new legal mechanisms to protect human rights in crises. It must also confront its colonial past and decolonize curricula. As we navigate ongoing crises, social work must take on a transformative role, working alongside marginalized communities to advocate for a more just and equitable society.
