Abstract
Social work as an organised social practice and as a social science discipline is an important part of the social state. Its basic task as part of the state apparatus is the regulation of social inequalities by means of social solidarity that is based in a universal taxation system. In recent decades however, in Slovenia and elsewhere, there are tendencies to shrink and privatise the activities of social work. These tendencies are accompanied by systematic media attacks on the practicing social workers and the principles of social work. All this bears the question of the other side of the raising general distrust for social work: do social workers contribute to the vulnerability of social work practice? The proposed research will place the experiential histories, and the reflection on the professional practice of social workers into the centre of its empirical research process. In doing so, we will systematically take into account the unique history and practice of social work in Slovenia whose beginnings go back to the 1950s in the then Yugoslav socialism and incorporates also the change of the political system following the Slovenian independence in 1991. The proposed research pursues two interconnected goals: First, to explore with the methods chosen how the practicing social workers perceive and manage their profession. We will be interested in their experiences that comprise their professional culture: how they deal with the tensions between the academic discipline and the realities of the profession, especially in the light of its decreasing competences and autonomy; the increasing social problems that the profession has less and less resources to deal with; and the declining reputation of the profession. Second, to assemble, evaluate and organise a collection of most important historic data on social work in Slovenia. The aim is to support and contextualise the data collected in the empirical phase of the research with the fractography on the institution of social work organised according to major historical landmarks from its onset of social work to the 1991 breaking point, to the so-called post-socialist transition.
