Is Social Work Feminist Enough?

Welcome back to the Social Work Café. As a profession largely consisting of women, it is no surprise that many social workers embrace a feminist worldview. We are passionate about liberation, class struggle, and addressing gendered injustices, which are exemplified in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. With this in mind, does contemporary social work adequately centre feminist theory and practice? To examine this question, Jac McNamara, from our recent bonus episode, is back in the café to talk about feminism in social work. We cannot promise that bras won’t be burned during this episode.
