The guide includes suggestions to implement before entering the classroom, so that the necessary personal, community, and institutional infrastructure can support authentic, sustainable conversations. It discusses how educators can respond appropriately in the classroom to the hot-button issues of the day. There are also lessons for critical pedagogy and management that help educators reimagine classrooms and learn to create mutually supportive learning environments.  Written by four experienced anti-racist educators and practitioners, the book takes a direct, compassionate approach designed to diminish dogma and fear. By examining how socially different people respond to the same difficult questions, A Guide for Sustaining Conversations on Racism, Identity, and our Mutual Humanity creates a rich set of options for readers to use in their own classrooms, agencies, and field placements.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50189943898385,"sku":"CIN1516519892G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51033006899473,"sku":"NIN9781516519897","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52478074650897,"sku":"NLS9781516519897","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1516519892.jpg?v=1764843443"},{"product_id":"macro-practice-in-social-work-for-the-21st-century-book-steve-burghardt-9781452257457","title":"Macro Practice in Social Work for the 21st Century","description":"Macro Practice in Social Work for the 21st Century, Second Edition offers a modern approach to building effective career skills in macro practice.

Few works have attempted to explore the interplay between the recent broader changes affecting the welfare state (fiscal crisis, cost containment, privatization, etc) and the restructuring of social service work. Yet, it is clear that the fiscal decisions of the 1980s profoundly affected both the context and content of social service practice. \"The Welfare State Crisis and the Transformation of Social Service Work\" explores how these larger forces have created significant changes for the line practitioner. The greater push for caseload volume in the face of resource scarcity is redefining service encounters in ways that are more likely to meet the fiscal needs of the agency rather than the service needs of clients and the professional concerns of the worker. In short, the fiscal crisis of the past two decades has placed the enterprise of social services at risk. After empirically documenting the seriousness of the risk, \"The Welfare State Crisis and the Transformation of Social Service Work\" concludes with an exploration of new social service practice strategies that have the potential to integrate the individual, organization, communal, and social changes necessary for effective service interventions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50292375978257,"sku":"CIN0873326431G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52583097663761,"sku":"NLS9780873326438","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0873326431.jpg?v=1751297585"},{"product_id":"stories-of-transformative-leadership-in-the-human-services-book-steve-burghardt-9781412970167","title":"Stories of Transformative Leadership in the Human Services","description":"\"A fantastic book. . . .A major contribution!

Certain to excite and inspire both students entering the human services field and seasoned non-profit professionals, Stories of Transformative Leadership in the Human Services: Why the Glass Is Always Full is the first full-length leadership book to focus on the unique challenges of the public and non-profit executive, manager, and educator. Written in a lively story-telling style, the book develops a leadership model for those who inspire without bonuses and seek a powerful legacy through people′s lives.       Authors Steve Burghardt and Willie Tolliver convey the stories of two social service agencies struggling to survive in a world of shrinking budgets, increasing needs, and lack of resources. While both agencies are run by hard-working managers, one is in constant crisis mode (racial tensions that simmer and boil over; professionals who end up exhausted and overeating after a crisis-filled day . . . every day), while the other, operating with no greater resources, lacks tension and turmoil as its managers respond to similar demands and client needs. Using real-life vignettes drawn from actual experiences, the stories distill important lessons and unfold in a powerful manner that will resonate with any professional asked to work harder . . . with a smaller budget. Questions woven through each story connect to the book′s more theoretical material on leadership, personal mastery, and community-building.       Steve Burghardt, MSW, PhD, and Willie Tolliver, MSW, DSW, are professor and associate professor of Social Work at the City University of New York (CUNY)—Hunter College School of Social Work and partners in the Leadership Transformation Group, LLC. Authors of numerous works on organizational change and strategic development, they are award-winning teachers of human behavior, policy, and community organization. They have worked with thousands of human service and educational staff on new models of leadership, personal well-being, spirituality, collaboration in times of crisis, and how to sustain conversations on race and oppression for lasting change at work and in one′s life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50383263072529,"sku":"CIN1412970164G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50383264088337,"sku":"CIN1412970164VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52678809682193,"sku":"NLS9781412970167","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1412970164.jpg?v=1751177433"},{"product_id":"end-of-social-work-book-steve-burghardt-9781793540157","title":"The End of Social Work","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe End of Social Work: A Defense of the \u003cb\u003eSocial Worker\u003c\/b\u003e in Times of Transformation\u003c\/i\u003e explores the deeply flawed status quo of the social work profession.

Using themes from his classic book, The Other Side of Organizing, published in 1982 after the collapse of progressive organizing and the rise of Reagan, Steve Burghardt outlines the \"harsh\" truths that today's organizers and policy analysts must confront: increased inequity, decreases in community cohesion, and long-term cohesion of right-wing Christian nationalists. Organizing strategies have evolved over the last 40 years. Burghardt outlines the humble lessons of an emphasis on identity politics and horizontalism, which was once understandable. Today, however, this focus breeds infighting rather than unified campaigns which are capable of building powerful social movements.  The work draws on over 50 years of organizing experience and classroom lessons–often provided by students–to detail the ways organizers can improve their own tactical flexibility, deepen their personal comfort with others' social differences, and describe how to express their values through their work. Through these personal tools, organizers can better \"embody the change they seek,\" turning a trite phrase into meaningful tactics capable of movement building. While providing the contours of a hopeful agenda for the future, Organizing in the New Gilded Age is clear-eyed about the dangers of authoritarianism and climate catastrophe that remain ever-present. In the context of these existential threats, Burghardt closes with a final exploration of why \"radical hope\" may be required in the years ahead.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53584404578577,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53584404939025,"sku":"NGR9780197770573","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-steve-burghardt.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
