The Voices of Silence is a podcast dedicated to making a case for decolonization. The first season of this podcast examines social work theory and practice. We explore how social work as a science and practice, perpetuates oppression and how we can alternatively use the science and practice of social work for true decolonization both of the study and practice of social work and of the subaltern. This podcast is produced by the Youth Bulletin and hosted by Fogha Mc

    The Voices of Silence: Decolonizing through a philosophy of impermanence with Alexandra Crampton

    Alexandra Crampton is an Associate professor at the Marquette University’s department of Social and Cultural science. In a 2015 article; Decolonizing Social Work "Best Practices'' through a Philosophy of Impermanence, Alexandra, arguing that decolonization requires more than surface level change argues for the decolonization of social work concepts of best practices and evidence based practice. Using the story of the successful decolonization of Sacred practices of the Zuni war God and the metaphor of the Island developed by Shawn Wilson, to question the underlying western beliefs that perpetuate colonisation through permanence. In this episode of the voices of silence, our conversation is centered around what impermanence means, how it can contribute to decolonization and whether best practices are best described as verbs or nouns.
