‘This book provides an interesting contribution to our understanding of the importance of the student placement during the social work education program in the Indian and South Asian contexts. The contributing authors offer culturally specific suggestions as to how the placement experience can be theorized and utilized. I would recommend this book for those interested in social work education from this region of the world.’ ― Dr. Michael Wallengren Lynch, Lecturer, Department of Social Work, Gothenburg University, Sweden.
‘This book is an essential step forward towards the indigenization of field education in India. I urge administrators and faculty at the over 600 schools of social work in India to relieve field education from its place at the margins of the profession and give it the importance it deserves as the signature pedagogy of social work. I congratulate the editors and authors, who each bring a unique emphasis to the development of a field education model with a Bharatiya curriculum.’ ―Laura Gibson, PhD, LCSW, MSW Program Director – Brescia University
‘This substantial work breaks new ground in its wide-ranging account of social work theory and practice in the Indian sub-continent.

The authors provide a timely challenge to Eurocentric pedagogical and fieldwork models; social workers and academics from across the globe will find much to learn from the important insights in this volume.’ ―Alison Higgs, Open University, UK
