The seminar "Abolitionist World-Making and Social Work" offers an introduction to abolitionist theory and practice for social work students. We'll discuss the question as to how abolitionism offers us alternatives to carceral social work practices, which tensions and contradictions there are as well as what our compass for emancipatory world-making as abolitionist social workers could look like in our respective fields. The course consists of texts, interviews, film material and tool-kits that draw on abolistionist, decolonial, intersectional-feminist and anti-racist perspectives and practices and introduces students to the concepts and methods of transformative justice and collective care.
