Content:
"This book will inspire the next generation of social work practitioners to integrate research into their everyday social justice practice. Through highlighting the centrality of values to the task of research and the possibilities for enacting social justice through our research practice, it argues for respectful, meaningful and just relationships with the people with whom we do research and build knowledge; acknowledge the ongoing impact of colonialism; respect diversity; and commit to working towards social change. With First Nations Worldviews - ways of knowing, ways of being, ways of doing - weaved throughout the text, this book seeks to both reclaim ancient knowledges and disrupt Western research traditions. Divided into three sections - a strong rationale for the importance of research skills to social work practice; - step-by-step guides on doing social research aimed at novice researchers; - a series of examples of applied social justice projects Bringing the authors' passion for finding new ways 'doing' research and contesting traditional research paradigms of objectivity and the scientific, it advocates for knowledge building that is participatory, emancipatory, and empowered. It will be required reading for all social work students at both the undergraduate and masters level as well as professionals looking to put research into practice"--
