Postmodern Social Work straddles the areas of critical pedagogy and social work, offering a method for teaching in a manner that examines the academic climate, which is being so negatively impacted by neoliberalism and managerialism. -- Laura Beres, author of <i>The Narrative Practitioner</i> In this insightful book, Moffatt deploys his magical touch again, transforming ordinary experience into extraordinary unforgettable learning - the hallmark of a brilliant educator. Here's a unique take on the many creative ways social work engages postmodern concepts and an invitation to vulnerability where Moffatt models self-reflection as ongoing critical engagement. -- Martha Kuwee Kumsa, Wilfrid Laurier University Postmodern Social Work offers a valuable perspective on social work teaching and education. In today's multifaceted, global environment, the ability to think critically and complexly is essential to productive social work. Integrating postmodern concepts with reflective practice, Ken Moffatt provides an alternative pedagogy that embraces these challenges. Both new and veteran educators-and their students-can benefit from the ideas discussed in this book. -- Stanley Witkin, author of <i>Transforming Social Work: Social Constructionist Reflections on Contemporary and Enduring Issues</i> Postmodern Social Work responds to the challenges of co-creating social work practice and education. Moffatt provides an intellectually rigorous and accessible approach to social work for the precarious times in which we live. Drawing on critical and feminist postmodern perspectives, Moffatt proposes new ways we can promote openness to the marginalized other and to multiple forms of knowing. The book offers renewed hope for reflective and creative forms of critical social work education and practice. -- Karen Healy, author of <i>Social Work Theories in Context: Creating Frameworks for Practice</i> Ken Moffatt has successfully provided a new take on how postmodern thinking influences the core areas of social work education. Essential to rethinking and redesigning syllabi and pedagogy, this book will function as a refreshing framework from which to revisit new curricula. All social work educators, new and experienced, will find this book invaluable. -- Janis Fook, author of <i>Social Work: A Critical Approach to Practice</i>
