Biografisk notat
Edited by Zoë Irving, Emeritus Professor of International and Comparative Social Policy, School for Business and Society, University of York, UK<i>‘Boasting an excellent array of contributors, this refreshing and insightful guide supports instructors in reimagining and recontextualizing established debates, and asserting the racialised and patriarchal underpinnings of social policy. Whether you are thinking of developing a new course, unit or programme, or updating and revising established material, this text is a “must-read.” It is also relevant for all instructors seeking to move the empirical and analytical focus of their teaching beyond national boundaries, thereby increasing the relevance and appeal to a diverse student body.’</i>
- Patricia Kennett, School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol, UK,
Teaching Social Policy captures the multi-disciplinary and multi-layered scope of social policy, exploring how this enables versatility in teaching and extends opportunities to expand knowledge and skills that may otherwise remain untapped. Chapters present ideas and examples of teaching activities to support learning in social policy, with a specific focus on approaches and tools to decolonise the social policy curricula. Serving as a practical guide for scholars teaching social policy, the book maps the terrain of student learning and explores novel ideas for teaching within the context of contemporary challenges facing higher education.
Offering ideas, reflections and guidance on the challenges and benefits of internationalising and decolonising the curriculum, this dynamic book will be an invaluable resource for higher education educators, early career academics and course designers with an interest in social policy, social administration, sociology and public policy.
