Critical Social

Schools of social work in Canada and other countries of the North are increasingly offering their students the option of undertaking an international practicum. Often implied in this term is a placement in a Southern country. In this article I draw on a critical social work perspective, and the notion of the “encumbered self,” to consider the ethics of international practica in the context of a larger movement in Canada and elsewhere towards short-term international postings of various kinds. In conclusion, I argue for not only substantive pre-practicum preparation, but a post-practicum curriculum that leads students to interrogate, rather than consolidate, their learning overseas.

This chapter contains a brief biography and transcript of an interview with Terry Hokenstad, a leader in American social work education, who was awarded the Katherine Kendall Award of the International Association of Schools of Social Work in 2004, for his contribution to international social work education. His professional and academic focus has been on ageing and older people, and he has been widely involved in policy advocacy in this area, including at the United Nations. Another important activity was building international links between US universities and many other countries, particularly with the opening up of the former Soviet bloc. He looks forward to future developments in coordination among international social work organisations.

This chapter contains a brief biography and transcript of an interview with Shulamit Ramon, a leader in British social work education, who was awarded the Katherine Kendall Award of the International Association of Schools of Social Work in 2008, for her contribution to international social work education. An important focus of her work as mental health, and early research compared Italian and UK services. She was also involved in developing social work in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet bloc and in the development of an international doctoral programme, INDOSOW. Later projects were concerned with social work responses in situations of political and social conflict. Her work demonstrates a commitment to user involvement in practice and education.

This study highlights social work’s response to socio-cultural diversity by investigating the reality of multiculturalism in social work curricula vis-a-vis the Global Standards debates. Content analysis technique is used from a transcendental perspective to explore the attributes of multiculturalism in social work curricula via the online directory of the International Association of Schools of Social Work. Each curriculum reflects relative attributes of multiculturalism, identifiable as tenets of the Global Standards – a tool for modeling social work education across cultures. A new theory and a practice model for international social work also emerged from the study, and are proposed for testing.

Innovative Approaches

This article contributes to the ethical and practical conceptualizations of centring marginalized voices in research across borders. This project worked within the parameters of international social work (ISW) in Perú, which is a space where the advancement of globalization and colonization has deepened the historical exclusion and marginality of Indigenous women. To work towards social justice, this project developed creative innovative approaches to engagement and resisted western notions of progress. As research is not neutral, deconstruction of contextual forces that shape research makes visible how knowledge(s) are understood and subjugated in ISW, in particular that of Indigenous women.
