Our context - from Aotearoa NZ.
We both have backgrounds in sociology
Both undertook social work education after studying sociology
Provides tools of social analysis to identify sites of resistance
The traditions of academic sociology that resonated with us were that social change is both possible and desirable
As educators this idea of social change is one that we communicate to our students.
