An intersectional model of reflection: is social work fit for purpose in an intersectionally racist world? (2022)
Journal Article
Nayak, S. (in press). An intersectional model of reflection: is social work fit for purpose in an intersectionally racist world?. Critical and Radical Social Work, 10(2), 319-334. https://doi.org/10.1332/204986021x16555682461270

Reflection is a trademark tool of social work, but if reflection tools are blunt, they will never dismantle the house of intersectional racist oppression. This provocation contends that reflective models need to decisively focus on intersections of p...
