Despite urgent calls for global action, sustainable social work practice, and a solid "green" theoretical knowledge base, North American social work and helping professions have been slow to learn from community activists, acknowledge the international climate emergency, and act collectively to achieve climate justice.


Greening Social Work Education examines how social work educators can best incorporate sustainability content into social work curricula, integrate green teaching methods, and mobilize students and colleagues towards climate action, justice, and leadership. Drawing on Canadian content, this collection highlights Indigenous, eco-feminist, collective-action, and multi-interdisciplinary approaches to social work. The book provides a rationale for why the topic of greening is important for social work and the helping professions; discussion of current debates, tensions, and issues; useful ideas related to innovative interdisciplinary theoretical approaches, analyses, and constructs; and practical recommendations for teaching green social work education. In doing so, Greening Social Work Education strives to help social workers and educators gain the confidence and tools they need to transform their teaching and curricula.
