Post-Anthropocentric Social Work

This book seeks to trouble taken-for-granted assumptions of anthropocentrism and humanism in social work those which perpetuate human privilege and human exceptionalism. The edited collection provides a different imaginary for social work by introducing ways of thinking otherwise that challenge human exceptionalism.

Social work is at heart a liberal humanist project informed by a strong human rights framework. This edited collection draws on the literature on affect, feminist new materialism and critical posthumanism to critique the liberal framework, which includes human rights. Disrupting the anthropocentrism in social work which positions humans as an elite species at the centre of world history, this book develops an ethical sensibility that values entanglements of humans, non-human life and the natural environment.

The book provides new insights into environmental destruction, humananimal relations, gender inequality and male dominance, as well as indigenous and settler/colonial issues and critical and green social work. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of social work, community development, social policy and development studies more broadly.

Vivienne Bozalek is Emerita Professor of Womens and Gender Studies at the University of the Western Cape, and Honorary Professor in the Centre for Higher Education Research, Teaching and Learning at Rhodes University, South Africa.

Bob Pease is Adjunct Professor in the Institute for Social Change at the University of Tasmania and an Honorary Professor in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Deakin University.

Karen Bell is an Associate Professor of Social Work and co-leader of the Environmental and Social Justice Research Group at Charles Sturt University in regional New South Wales, Australia. Karens record of research and publication reflects her interest in the philosophy of social work, post-conventional theory, gender and ecosocial work. Karens particular interest in post-conventional theory first emerged from her PhD research, which explored rural womens experiences of reproductive technology. From this qualitative research, the limitations of the positivist paradigm and the conventional biomedical model were highlighted as participants claimed their epistemic agency through sharing their embodied, experiential knowledge of assisted reproduction. Many of Karens publications explore the potential of post-conventional theory in relation to the philosophy of social work, qualitative research, gender and climate change. Karens current research collaborations include projects on disaster resilience, professional identity, international education, research capacity-building, gender and patriarchy.
