Plain talk about domestic
violence, racism, social justice and human
service.
Many of us do important work with individuals, families
and/or communities. Often we are so busy doing, thinking,
supervising, training, and honing our skills that we have no
time to write about what we learn in our work. This can mean
that those of us who actually do human service work do not
generate a body of writing which can complement academic and
research articles. Often, I have an exciting conversation
with a colleague about discoveries, ideas and questions that
derive from our work. At the end of the conversation someone
says: 'We should write that down'. A lot of us do not like
to write. I do. So I have written down some thoughts which
have grown out of many years of work. I like writing short,
accessible articles which can move around the internet on
various lists. It seems like a practical way for us to
engage with each other and to share our work.
