Toward a Context-Specific Definition of Social Justice for Social Work: In Search of Overlapping Consensus

Abstract

While the quest for social justice binds social workers to a common cause, its equivocal vision undermines unity and provokes inefficient—and even contradictory—practice. This paper sheds light on the intersection of widely-accepted social work tenets and multidisciplinary perspectives on justice and social responsibility. In so doing, it provides a theory-driven method for social workers to incorporate client voices into contextspecific definitions of social justice.
