This book explores feminism as core to social work knowledge, practice and ethics. It not only demonstrates how gender-neutral perspectives and practices obscure gender but also how feminist social work practice can transform areas of social work not specifically concerned with gender, through its emphasis on relationships and power.

Social Work in a Global Context engages with, and critically explores, key issues that inform social work practice around the world. It is the first truly international book for all those interested in comparative and cross-cultural understandings of social work.

This wide-ranging volume both maps the contemporary landscape of feminist social work research, and offers a deep engagement with critical and third wave feminisms in social work research. Containing an international selection of contributions, it is an important reference for all social work researchers with an interest in critical perspectives.
