About this Event
Abolition in Social Work and Human Services
Visions, Possibilities and Challenges
This book is rooted in the radical history of critical social reimagining and resistance to oppressive relations of power. The contradictory position of social and human services within the carceral framework of liberal capitalist state institutions is confronted. Essential reading for academics, researchers, students, human service practitioners and social activists, it examines the implications of social work’s complicity with systems that perpetuate social injustice.
Editors Ian Hyslop and Bob Pease in conversation with contributors from Aotearoa. Discounted copies of the paperback version for sale on the day.
Light refreshments will be provided
