Ecosocial Work and Sustainability Transitions: Theories, Methodologies and Practices

Sustainable development and ecosocial work have become one of the most dynamic global debates of the social work profession. How can social work contribute to the sustainability transitions of European societies?

Bringing together a diverse group of researchers from around the world, this book offers an analysis of the main theoretical insights on ecosocial work, the contribution of social work research to transdisciplinary research on sustainability and how social workers can already bring the ecological dimension into their daily practice.

Incorporating new research evidence from the ASTRA project, the wide range of contributors dive deep into the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of ecosocial work, providing valuable insights for researchers, students, activists and practitioners.
