The Body Politics of Glocal Social Work: Essays on the Post-Anthropocentric Condition (Routledge Advances in Social Work)

Mona B. Livholts is Professor of Social Work in the Department of Social Sciences, University of Helsinki, Finland; Secretary and Executive Board Member in The European Association of Social Work, EASSW; Founder of the Network for Reflexive Academic Writing Methodologies, RAW (2008-2017). Livholts works with glocal-, post-anthropocentric, feminist- and postcolonial power analysis for social and environmental justice in the intersection of social work, creative writing, and art-based research. She has invented new forms for creative life writing, such as the thinkingwriting subject, post/academic writing, and the untimely academic novella by uses of literary fiction, memory work, diaries, letters, poetry, and photography. Research themes include media narratives on rape, sexual harassment, gender, space and memory, monuments and narrative inequality, environmental exhaustion, and the body politics of social work. Livholts has published monographs, and co-edited and edited volumes in Swedish and English, including Social Work in a Glocalised World (with Bryant 2017), Situated Writing as Theory and Method. The Untimely Academic Novella (2019), and The Body Politics of Glocal Social Work. Essays in the Post-Anthropocentric Condition (2022).
