Introduction Episode (2/2): Counter Hegemony: What even is that?
Description
In this episode, podcast crew members Boe (student) and Jean (educator) orient listeners to the Critical Conversations for Social Work podcast. This was the premier episode in this Centre for Social Change project. Through their discussion, Boe and Jean unpack ideas of counter-hegemonic practices as an alternative to neoliberal social work. Boe speaks to Jean about her pedagogy, namely critical performance pedagogy used in her practice as a lecturer, social work practitioner and placement supervisor. Jean, touches on how play, and performance, can be used to deconstruct dominant discourses in society and provide avenues for alternative knowledge to be valued in social work education and practice as a way to promote emancipatory change.
