This international webinar explores ‘The Origins of Social Care and Social Work’ (Policy Press, 2022) in which Professor Mark Henrickson (Auckland, New Zealand) argues that European and North American notions of helping – or managing – poor and marginalised people have deep roots in religious texts and traditions which continue to influence contemporary social work.

Two presentations by Mark will be followed by a live panel discussion with Prospera Tedam (Dublin), Linda Harms-Smith (Pretoria) and Sarah Banks (Durham) who will focus especially on the ethical challenges for social work in a diverse, post-colonial world.
