ON THE TRAIL OF A RADICAL PEDAGOGY FOR SOCIAL-WORK EDUCATION

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.
