商品描述

This book, sourced from the experience of the social work researchers, educators and practitioners, offers, for the first time from the Indian context, a reflexively situated and insightful pathways to social work research and theorising practice that underlines the importance of 'methodologies in fields of practice'- epistemologies, locationalities and positionalities embedded at varied sites of practices. This understanding is built on the observation that research capturing specific 'Fields of subjectivities' (rural tribal communities, women, children and youth, and persons with disabilities) located in the Indian contexts responds to social issues in complex and diverse situations - a relational ontology. It underscores the scope and new possibilities of research in the Social Work discipline, and its function in contextualizing 'fields of practice'. The strength of the book lies in capturing and visibilizing these varied sites of practices through 'research-practice continuum' approach while demonstrating the primacy of 'methodologies of practice' in building a social work knowledge i.e. democratic, emancipatory and locally empowering.

Accordingly, the book suggests that strengthening of social work research and theorising practice would entail recognition of 'methodologies in fields of practice' in the context. In doing so, the book underlines the need to take a decolonial approach and intends to strengthen practice-based knowledge for an immediate reference point for social work scholars, researchers, educators, practitioners, administrators and policymakers.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書源自社會工作研究者、教育者和實務工作者的經驗，首次從印度的背景出發，提供了一條反思性且具洞察力的社會工作研究與理論實踐的途徑，強調「實務領域中的方法論」的重要性——這些方法論是嵌入於各種實踐場域中的認識論、地理位置和立場。這種理解建立在觀察之上，即捕捉特定「主觀性領域」（如農村部落社區、女性、兒童和青少年以及殘障人士）的研究，位於印度的背景中，對複雜且多樣的社會問題作出回應——這是一種關係本體論。它強調了社會工作學科中研究的範疇和新可能性，以及其在情境化「實務領域」中的功能。這本書的強項在於通過「研究-實務連續體」的方法捕捉和可視化這些多樣的實踐場域，同時展示「實務方法論」在建立社會工作知識中的首要性，即民主的、解放的和地方賦權的知識。

因此，這本書建議加強社會工作研究和理論實踐將需要在該背景下認識「實務領域中的方法論」。在這樣做的過程中，書中強調需要採取去殖民化的方式，並旨在加強基於實務的知識，以便為社會工作學者、研究者、教育者、實務工作者、管理者和政策制定者提供即時的參考點。
