Marx: alienation, commodity fetishism and the world of contemporary Social Work
Critical and Radical Social Work, 2018Co-Authors: Michael Lavalette, Iain FergusonAbstract:This paper offers an outline of Marx’s concept of alienation and his later related concept of commodity fetishism. Building on previously published Work on this topic, we argue that the lack of control over our lives and creative activity which for Marx defined alienation and which he saw as being more extreme under capitalism than under any previous mode of production has actually intensified during the era of neoliberalism. Through an examination of the areas of Work, sexuality and health we examine the terrible toll that that lack of control and greatly increased commodification is having on our health and relationships. Finally we point to some ways in which an understanding of alienation can contribute to a Radical Social Work theory and practice.

Sylvia Pankhurst: Suffragette, Socialist, Anti-imperialist … and Social Worker?
Critical and Radical Social Work, 2017Co-Authors: Michael LavaletteAbstract:Sylvia Pankhurst was a well-known Suffragette from the period prior to World War 1. It is less well-know that she was also a Socialist activist, an anti-racist and a founding member of the British Communist Party. But can we consider her a Social Worker? This piece looks at Sylvia's early life and argues that her Radical welfare interventions between 1912 and 1917 mark her out as a pioneer of Radical Social Work interventions

Radical Social Work
Social Work, 1998Co-Authors: Mary LanganAbstract:Although the moment of Radical Social Work has now passed, many of its defining values — of community and commitment, of equality and empowerment, of feminism and anti-racism — have entered the mainstream of Social Work practice. Indeed these values have been endorsed by recent child protection and community care legislation and have become a feature of the ‘rules and requirements’ for Social Work qualifications promulgated by CCETSW. Despite the fact that supporters of the principles of Radical Social Work have many reservations about recent developments in the field of Social services, they have broadly welcomed the adoption of these principles by the authorities as an indication of the potential for shifting practice in a progressive direction.

Critical Pedagogy and the Forgotten Social Work Student: The Return of Radical Practice
Australian Social Work, 1993Co-Authors: William De MariaAbstract:Radical consciousness in Social Work has been surrounded and besieged by neo-conservatism for over two decades now. Yet it stubbornly holds on. More than that, as this paper argues, Radical consciousness is again in an emergent state. To learn from its past mistakes, Radicalism in Social Work will have to be more responsive to its teaching mission. Within the spirit of that message this paper moves its focus from the street to the classroom. An attempt is made to offer a detailed account of Radical Social Work education in action.

On the Trail of a Radical Pedagogy for Social Work Education
The British Journal of Social Work, 1992Co-Authors: William De MariaAbstract:Summary: This article uses a general decade by decade approach to note the emergence (1970s), decline (1980s), and re-emergence (1990s) of Radical Social Work. An issue for this 1990s'-type Radical Social Work will become one of attending to its own teaching mission. A range of Radical pedagogic principles is presented: cause-sensitive action, tailoring, contradiction-based learning, de-monopolized values, Radical analysis, polemic storytelling, and centring marginality.

Radical Social Work in the education of students of Social pedagogy : the concept of “educational space” that encourages the questioning of the ‘taken for granted‘
2015Co-Authors: Anita GulczyńskaAbstract:The purpose of this article is to present a concept of an educational space created in the course of B.A. Social pedagogy studies for the introduction of the Radical Social Work model. In a wider perspective, this contribution gives an idea of an academic teacher’s action to develop certain alternative approaches to Social Work while studying Social pedagogy. The frameWork of this concept, and thus the reference for defining the knowledge and role of academic staff in the process of its creation, is Social constructionism.

A Challenge to the Social Work Profession? The Rise of Socially Engaged Art and a Call to Radical Social Work.
Social work, 2017Co-Authors: Hee Chul KimAbstract:In this era of neoliberalism, Social Work in the United States is arguably overly professionalized and privatized, and has almost lost its activists roots in Working for Social justice. Radical Social Work rooted in macro-level community-based practice has been in crisis over the past three decades. The rise of Socially engaged art has become more prominent in the United States even as Social Work has strayed away from its basic tenets such as community practice, advocacy, and Social action. How should the Social Work profession interpret the rise of Socially engaged art-already a trend in the art world-whose modality and purpose resembles Radical Social Work? By comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences between Radical Social Work and Socially engaged art, this article examines the possibility of consilience between the two and the implications for the Social Work profession.
