In this paper we explore the terms used to describe the relationship between youth workers & young people (like 'client', 'service user', 'participant' or 'peer-worker') & how language shapes the possibilities of the relationship. 🧵1/3
NEW ARTICLE ALERT!

Talking about relational youth work: why language matters
tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Three distinct relationship-descriptor categories emerged in our analysis: ‘transactional’, ‘rights bearer’ and ‘collaborative’. Each one has its own values, ideological basis, and implications for power within the youth work relationship. 🧵2/3
The Tuvalu climate minister calls it straight on the so called Middle Arm "Sustainability" Precinct:
"So long as it would unlock further exploration and production — whether that's oil or gas — that still falls within the category of subsidising fossil fuel"

This is an exciting new paper from @Rosyforlornas that helps us to think beyond individualistic and liberal humanist frames so that youth work can better understand and act in a world of multiple intersecting crises.
👏👏👏Questioning the humanist legacy that lies at the heart of youth work theory - a tale of two Sophias, a humanoid robot and an ‘illegal’ baby migrant - prompts reflections on how a critical posthuman lens might contribute to youth work theory and practice @Rosyforlorn
