The structure of the book follows the student's journey - from selecting an appropriate topic of study, through the support needed to develop research skills and begin writing, to publications and the final defence of the thesis.

This book is a response to the felt need of social work practitioners for professional supervision. Reflecting on the social work profession in the context of contemporary socio-economic and political challenges and wide-ranging organizational and practice settings, the book provides a voice for supervisors to share their experiences. Social workers often deal with difficult, undefined and unique human situations where there are no ready-made solutions or quick fixes. This constant and complex working process can cause stress, burnout and affect their quality of work and judgement if they are not supported appropriately and in a timely way. One such support to them is offering professional supervision to enhance their professional functioning and their quality of service. On the one hand, the narratives of experienced supervisors reveal critical dilemmas, core processes and content, expectations, issues posed, and concepts and theories employed in professional supervision, and on the other, the wisdom and qualities of supervisors. This book analyzes concepts and models employed by supervisors and the complex interaction of their qualities and wisdom that arise from their narratives. It underscores the supervisee's being through integrating the personal and professional self to deliver better quality services to people, agencies, and communities. The book argues that the current trends compel action for well thought through professional supervision for all who need it. Those interested in professional supervision - supervisees, practitioners, and supervisors - will benefit from reading this book. Enlightening Professional Supervision in Social Work: Voices and Virtues of Supervisors is the resource that both supervisors and practitioners need to create safe environments to carefully reflect, develop knowledge, sharpen skills and effectively engage in practice. It will improve services to clients and organizational service provision, and not only benefit both practitioners and supervisors in social work and human services, but also social work educators and students, social policy administrators as well as managers and trainers in the social services sector.

This book explores early new critical debates about intention, tracing how and why intention was dismissed across much humanities scholarship, and how it can be revisited and made relevant as a key formative, evaluative, and ethical concept. The author argues that the academic disinterest in intention occurred simultaneously as genre criticism and later the rhetorical interest in genre came into its own. Genre became a way to simultaneously elide and naturalize intention. The book elaborates on the pedagogical, ethical, and empirical consequences naturalizing intention through genre has had for rhetorical studies and it offers a new term, ¿curations¿ to identify discursive forms, actions, and intentions working simultaneously. Finally, he also examines the gap between the humanities and STEM fields and shows specific ways scientists and engineers have called for the humanities to become more invested in intention as both a critical and an operational concept. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of discourse studies and critical discourse analysis, rhetoric and professional communication, including those in fields such as medicine, engineering, STS and business studies.

Through a carefully curated collection of articles, Equity-Minded Systems Thinking Leadership introduces readers to a new emergent theory of leadership and describes how this theory in practice can help them better understand and act on issues related to educational equity. This approach requires educators and school leaders to recognize and take ownership of the ways in which policies, practices, and structures work together to create the educational experience of their students. The anthology seeks to lay out a pathway for school leaders to create a more democratic and equitable learning environment within their schools. The book is divided into two parts. Part I explores the complexities and nuances of organizational theories of change and presents the framework for Equity-Minded Systems Thinking Leadership. It focuses on the theoretical foundations of systems thinking leadership. Part II sits at the praxis of theory and practice by providing concrete strategies on how equity-minded school leaders can use equity principles to create and sustain more diverse, inclusive, and equitable learning environments. The eight chapters highlight the relationship between organizational culture and leadership, as well as the unmet educational needs of students, particularly students of color. Dedicated chapters address teaching and leadership in the wake of COVID-19, building an institutional culture of care, power and politics within school systems, social justice leadership, and more. Equity-Minded Systems Thinking Leadership is an innovative and essential resource for courses and programs in education, school administration, and educational leadership.
