Highlights
Paul Michael Garrett has been a favourite author of mine since I was struggling with theorising my PhD findings
His series of articles encouraging social workers to engage with critical social theorists helped me enormously to develop my understanding of social work’s relationship with higher education and how that has impacted on professional identity in Aotearoa New Zealand (Beddoe, 2013, 2017)
Garrett’s work is often where I go first when looking for a helpful chapter to support students to make the connections between social work and critical theory
Summary
Paul Michael Garrett has been a favourite author of mine since I was struggling with theorising my PhD findings. His series of articles encouraging social workers to engage with critical social theorists (see, for example, Garrett, 2007, 2020) helped me enormously to develop my understanding of social work’s relationship with higher education and how that has impacted on professional identity in Aotearoa New Zealand (Beddoe, 2013, 2017). Garrett’s work is often where I go first when looking for a helpful chapter to support students to make the connections between social work and critical theory.
