- Description - 
Radical social work is a rich tradition but too often it is only accessible via academia. Instead we want to bring together those who work in social care, have experience of it, or just have an interest. 

Together we'll consider topics such as the family, motherhood, care, and injustice embedded in current systems. We'll then ask how social care could be practiced in new, truly emancipatory and radical ways. 

This month we will be exploring bell hooks' conception of community and a radical ethic of love. We will discuss the implications for social work practice and possible barriers we might face too. We recommend reading one or both of the following readings in advance of the session: 

Community: Loving Communion - bell hooks - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oru6w6urJzrg3RfkzJuzDonwKOpZcHGe/view?usp=drive_link 

bell hooks’s Legacy and Social Work - Dyann Ross - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wKJ8Xrld3KFiHKaUJC8xX7DsPSznzvRU/view?usp=drive_link 

All welcome and all encouraged to get involved, in whatever way you would like to contribute, and regardless of whether you have attended before! 
_____________________________
- What to expect -
After a short introduction to the recommended reading, we will start by talking about the texts and go onto discuss their applications to social work practice. Our events usually have between 10 and 20 attendees, and break out into smaller discussion groups to allow people to share their thoughts and ideas freely.

- About Bristol Transformed -
Bristol Transformed runs an annual festival of politics, arts and culture in April, and events every Tuesday evening throughout the rest of the year. See all our events here: https://hdfst.uk/bristol-transformed

We are a grassroots, volunteer-run, socialist education group. Bringing together activists, trade unionists, and everyone who wants to learn, we’re creating the space to discuss the most important issues facing us, equipping us with the skills and knowledge to transform Bristol and the world.

Bristol Transformed is run by dozens of local people. Without new people coming in every year, we wouldn't be able to maintain the same standard of political education events that you enjoy. If you'd be interested in joining us, sign up as a BT volunteer today and we'll be in touch! https://cloud.seatable.io/dtable/forms/341d6e1a-6723-4078-9481-5427b874f00b/
