Teachers Meet Social Workers

Beskrivelse

What happens when the perspectives of social workers and teachers collide? Jóhannes Miðskarð explores this question by examining how consulting sessions with social workers shape school professionals' views on addressing challenges faced by vulnerable children.

Exploring the intersection of social work and teaching through the lens of Hannah Arendt's philosophy.

This book delves into the dynamic between social workers and teachers, focusing on how their collaboration influences approaches to supporting vulnerable children. Drawing primarily on Hannah Arendt’s political theories within an existential phenomenological framework, Miðskarð provides a unique theoretical foundation for understanding these interactions.

Primarily aimed at social workers and student social workers in Denmark, England, and beyond, the book offers valuable insights into interprofessional collaboration in a Danish context contrasted with England. Teachers-especially school leaders, form teachers, and those working in pedagogical learning centers-along with early childhood educators and managers in family social work and educational sectors, will also find this work highly relevant.

Additionally, students and scholars interested in Hannah Arendt will appreciate the concise introduction and practical application of her theories presented throughout the book.

Esteemed experts praise Miðskarð’s contribution:

• Nick Frost, Emeritus Professor of Social Work at Leeds Beckett University, highlights the book as a significant addition to understanding multi-professional collaboration.
• Joop Berding, philosopher of education, commends the fresh perspective on Arendt’s philosophical ideas.
• Inge Schiermacher, former social work lecturer, notes the book’s unique approach to interprofessional working beyond traditional texts.
