Globalisation, Global Justice and Social Work
Globalization has become a seemingly unstoppable force over recent decades and, in its wake, global notions of social justice have developed in response to its negative aspects. Neo-liberal economic policies have been a key element in the wider process of globalization, and these policies have had a profound impact on welfare provision and the shape of social work practice.

Globalisation, Global Justice and Social Work explores the global effects of neo-liberal policies on welfare services in different countr...
Loving you is ill-advised
Amina Al-Mahdi is a young Saudi Arabian Muslim woman whose life changes upon enrolling at York University. After a year in provincial Ontario, Canada, Amina returns to Saudi Arabia for the summer. When her plane unexpectedly goes down, Amina finds herself on a desert island and clashes with the only other survivor of the crash. Achilles Stephenson, proud son of Jamaica and Seneca College student appoints himself the ruler of the island.

Amina and Achilles will hopefully find a way off the island...if they don't kill each other first, of course.

Evaluation implies that we have adopted a methodology that allows us to look in an effective way at the results of what we are doing so that we can, in turn, adapt our future actions toward the effective achievement of our goals. Evaluation adds value if we can learn something useful from it. It is not just a scorecard.
