Neil Gorman (DSW, LCSW, AP)
This is is a series of podcast-lectures (or "lecture-casts") that Neil Gorman (DSW, LCSW) has produced as part of the Fall 2020 semester for SWK6382-02 Practice II: Community. If you're a student in this class you'll want to listen to the lectures here BEFORE class begins.
This podcast-lecture covers chapter six of your text. It gives more info on the COS and Settlement House Movements. It also tries to explain some historical context on the shift from the welfare state to neo-liberalism.
In this podcast podcast-lecture I talk about some of the key elements form chapter three of the text. I try to expand on / supplement these ideas with my own understanding of the concepts, and make a few arguments bout how to best work within organizations and communities.
This Podcast-Lecture will expand on what we read and discussed last week in our first class. I'll introduce several new concepts that are important for social workers who are seeking to understand and intervene in the lives of groups, communities, societies, and cultures.
REVIEW:
- Foxes & Hedgehogs
- Social Workers as Swiss Army Knives
- The unconscious insists at the individual and social levels
- We seek to interpret the unconscious's effects/affects in the lives of individuals & societies
NEW CONCEPTS:
- Rationa V. Irrational problems
- Libidinal Economy
- Jouissance
- Massification
The first official podcast-lecture for this class approaches the main problem: community as a weapon.
