About this title

Synopsis

The Handbook on Intersectionality and Social Work presents diverse perspectives on the systemic inequalities that impact social work across the globe. The Handbook examines the conceptual and analytical terrain of intersectionality and the insights it presents for social work practice, pedagogy and research.

An international group of leading and emerging scholars provides wide-ranging analysis of intersectionality from different vantage points in social work. They demonstrate how intersectional thinking, values and knowledge can be applied to social work practice, theory and education and extend the analysis of oppressions, such as racism, sexism, ageism, ableism and heterosexism, in contemporary social work. Drawing on a variety of approaches, from law, policy, sociology and pedagogy, amongst others, the Handbook demonstrates remarkable breadth, and showcases new ways of harnessing intersectionality to explore the experiences of minoritised individuals and groups in welfare and social care systems.

The Handbook is an essential resource for students and academics in social work, sociology and social policy, particularly those with an interest in intersectionality and diversity, equity and inclusion. It is also a valuable read for educators, practitioners and policymakers involved in social work across the globe.
