讲座简介

Abstract

Wang Sibin (2012) defines ethnic social work in China as a set of professional services targeting ethnic minorities in certain regions. In Mainland China, social work practice with ethnic minorities and research in this field are in their very early stages of development (Chai, 2016). This presentation draws on New Zealand immigration patterns and the place of Māori as the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand in presenting multi-ethnic/ multicultural social work ethics, standards and practice models as a contribution to this emerging field. The presentation also includes the author’s research findings responding to the question: How do social work leaders understand working with minority indigenous peoples?

 

Chai (2016) calls for social workers in the PRC to leave “the ‘middle-person’ mentality and put [themselves] in the other party’s shoes.” New Zealand’s social work commitment to “walking in people’s worlds” (Weld & Appleton, 2008) makes a contribution to this call. This presentation asks how China—with 55 recognised minorities—and New Zealand can learn from each other.
