Selected Bibliography by Social Work Authors or in Social Work Sources:
The following are works by mostly North American Social Workers on Environmental, Ecological, Sustainability, Social Development and Eco-Justice related issues from various backgrounds, ideologies, and with various degrees of emphasis. Many of these works are more recent and have extensive coverage of these topics, some have a chapter or section on a number of dimensions of environmental/ecological social work, and some discuss important historical conceptual frameworks for ecological or environmental social work practice or social welfare policy. Some only address the topic in passing or adjunctively to another discussion but provide helpful situational information.
You will no doubt note that a sizable number are papers from various conferences. A deep ecological social work, an earth aware social work, is a new and far-reaching arena of theoretical and practice endeavor for the profession, which means that it will take awhile before this kind of writing is widely accepted in traditional social work journals and publications. The quality of the conference papers is, usually, very high, however. All these works may be helpful depending on the focus of your interests or research endeavors.
This is not yet a complete list, although I continue to work at updating and expanding it. I will certainly have missed along the way some very significant contributions by social workers-past and present. I apologize for any oversights. So, help me add to the list! Please e-mail your suggestions from here in North American and particularly from around the world.
I am especially indebted to Dr. John Coates of St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick Canada and to Dr. Mary Rogge of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville for allowing me to utilize bibliographic information they have generated to assist in the updating of this bibliography. Certain of my conference papers and a few others are available upon request or you may wish to communicate directly with the author to ask for a paper. Just e-mail me. (Last Updated June 24, 2003)
