'This Handbook is an impressive and important contribution to promote sustainable futures of field work education. It actualises the complexity of becoming social worker across entangled local, national, and global contexts. The reading awakened memories and questions from my own field placement as a student and teacher for international field work education. How had textbooks prepared me to work towards anti-oppression, capacity building, hope and creativity? What did I know about the geopolitical history of my place(ment)? How could I practice critical reflexivity to un-learn privilege and change oppressive structures? This book demonstrates the richness and multiple forms of social work, where structural privilege and marginalization, but also resistance and innovation, shapes spaces for field work education. As a contribution to global social work education, I warmly recommend it to be read through the lens of glocality, a fusion of local and global, that promotes seeing the many contributions as interlinked across communities and regions in the world.'
