Bridging the Practice-Activism Divide: Advocacy, Organizing, and Social Movements
From: Doing Anti-Oppressive Social Work
$2.30
This chapter uses examples from frontline social work practice and from schools of social work to highlight ways to integrate activism into everyday social work practice. The authors draw on their experiences in Vancouver and in the South Bronx to discuss activist interventions to expand opportunities for anti-oppressive practice, including using one’s privilege, reciprocity and linking with social movements.
