Stories from the Field

Abstract

In the current times social work has been increasingly confined to the role of “service provider”, an instrument of neo-liberalism, rather than as the voice of dissent to mainstream politics that it has the potential to be. Taking the model of structural social work as our starting point, we investigated the practices of two community-based programs in Toronto, which utilize the main tenets of structural social work as their guiding framework. Despite the current context, they are still able to engage in creative practices geared toward social justice and transformative change. The stories provide hope and direction for social justice oriented practice in the current context.
