For the last ten years the Reimagining Social Work collective, a handful of social work academics in Aotearoa, with many guest practitioner comrades and friends, have staked out this little space on the internet to give vent to our anger and protect a place where people of progressive ideas could engage in dialogue and debate about the prospects for a more caring world and a more progressive social work practice.
We like to think that the blog has stimulated dissent and a commitment to social justice work here and internationally. It has been a much longer and more rewarding journey than we envisaged. That is the beauty of collective practice.
We have so appreciated all of you who have read and responded in myriad ways to enrich our conversations and thinking, and hope we have contributed in some small way to your work and lives. That work continues in so many different ways, but for a host of reasons we’ve decided it’s time for the RSW Collective to retire the blog.
Having said that we want to continue to make it accessible so have archived it using a standards compliant format. The upside is that it will be preserved for posterity, the downside, that all of your links to particular pages will no longer work. The archive is, however, fully searchable and, with a little persistence, you should be able to access all of the content from 2015 to 2025.
