capitalism, and patriarchy, and racism, oh my!
As a social worker and counsellor who is influenced mainly by narrative, post-modern and post-structural ideas and ways of working, I’ve been trained to think about systems. I am often considering the role of systems…how all systems – macro, meso, micro…eco – impact the lives of the young people I work alongside (and their families and carers) and loudly declaring that they’re broken. I’m constantly annoying the shit out of anyone who happens to be in my general vicinity when I get in a mood about systems of oppression…of harm…of power (tautology, perhaps?).
