环境社会工作研究:范式转换、多元呈现及实践取向

Research on Environmental Social Work:Paradigm Shift,Multiple Presentation and Practical Orientation

环境社会工作不同于传统社会工作分析环境问题的方式,更关注问题背后的社会成因和社会影响。目前不同地域的环境社会工作研究者根据自身经验知识对传统社会工作的知识系统进行了批判,从而演化出了不同路径的研究取向。本文梳理了环境社会工作产生的背景,阐释了环境社会工作试图变革社会工作的传统范式,其欲引发社会工作领域的一次重大变革。然而由于缺乏统一的价值观念、知识系统和方法论原则,环境社会工作的研究和实践总的来说较为分散,这也正是其呈现出诸如环境社会工作、绿色社会工作和生态社会工作等多元化的研究路径和实践取向的原因。

Environmental social work is different from the way traditional social work analyzes environmental problems,and it pays more attention to the social causes and social impacts behind the problems.At present,environmental and social work researchers in different regions have criticized the knowledge system of traditional social work based on their own experience and knowledge,and have evolved different research orientations.This paper sorts out the background of environmental and social work,and explains that environmental and social work attempts to change the traditional paradigm of social work,which intends to trigger a major change in the field of social work.However,due to the lack of unified values,knowledge systems and methodological principles,the research and practice of environmental and social work are generally scattered,which is why it presents the diversity of environmental social work,green social work and ecological social work.The reasons for the research path and practice orientation.
