The 'Whalebone' in the (Social Work) 'Corset'? Notes on Antonio Gramsci and Social Work Educators.
The writings of the Italian philosopher and political activist Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) are neglected in social work, but his complex body of work might aid the profession's understanding in the early twenty‐first century. Social work education, specifically, may have much to gain from Gramsci's theorisation. The focus of this article-perhaps, something of an introduction of Gramsci-will be on his approach to Marxism and his ideas related to 'common sense', intellectuals and intellectuality. It will be maintained that Gramsci's contributions on these questions could contribute to social workers' critical reflection during a period of neoliberal inspired transformations.
