Glossary
Index
Shannon Butler-Mokoro, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the School
of Social Work at Salem State University. She has been a second
generation clinical social worker with experience in mental health
and substance abuse. Her teaching expertise and research interests
are in cultural competence, social welfare history, women, and
faith-based agencies and social work/spirituality.
Laurie Grant, MSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in a
private practice (called Reaching a Fork in the Road) north of
Boston. Specializing in working with clients who struggle with
obsessive compulsive disorder, hoarding, and anxiety, Laurie
supervises and teaches students advocacy and social work practice
skills at the School of Social Work at Salem State University and
North Shore Community College.
"Feminist Perspectives on Social Work Practice addresses a wide
range of women's experiences with an eye toward intersecting
identities, interlocking oppressions, and possibilities for
liberation. Butler-Mokoro and Grant's text shows how women's
multifaceted identities are shaped at individual, interactional,
and institutional levels and how helping professionals can use
feminist theories and frameworks to better inform their
professional practice." --
Social Work
Feminist Perspectives on Social Work Practice adeptly weaves
together the intersecting threads that constitute women's lives and
anchor women's selves to society. Butler-Mokoro and Grant have
established an impressive team of contributors who illuminate the
intersectional nature of women's lives on issues like motherhood,
mass incarceration, war, and aging among others. This volume is a
must-read for anyone interested in feminist social work practice
and its
interpersonal and structural implications for meaningful social
change.

University
