Practice and research in social work : postmodern feminist perspectives

Appraising key issues in the contested fields of postmodernism and feminism, this text focuses on applications in relation to practice, research and education in social work.

The contributors come from a range of countries (UK, Australia, South Africa and Canada) and many have professional experience as social workers.

Although postmodernist theory has been related to and explored in sociology and social policy, this text applies the theories to social work, and relates them to late-20th-century debates.
