The Social

Communities play an important role within the field of social work as the context within which specific social work activities occur. To date, much of the social work literature divides communities into the mutually exclusive, dichotomous categories of geographic and functional communities. The authors propose a new method for defining community that views geography on a continuum and suggests that membership within a community is moderated by place. The concept of place-moderated communities is applied to specific examples, and the application to social work practice is discussed within the context of community membership, community engagement, community rights, and community development efforts.

In 2012-2013 an evaluation of the Te Wānanga o Aotearoa social work degree programme Te Tohu Paetahi: Ngā Poutoko Whakarara Oranga BSW (Bi-culturalism in Practice) was conducted at the Tauranga campus.  In particular, we wanted to explore the critical indigenous space of marae and how Noho marae-based wānanga delivery might enhance tauira learning through their relationships with this space and their engagement with tribal epistemologies, in a bi-cultural social work programme. Also how this pedagogical approach might provide opportunities for contextualisation of nga takepu and tikanga in its authentic state.

University Community

Higher education cannot be enriched without active linkages with neighborhood. Community-university engagement is a reciprocal process which strengthens each other. Western world has accepted the said engagement as a means for aligning research with societal needs. Though, India is having a deep rooted history, legacy and various academic practices, only in the recent times University community engagement has acquired certain significance. For the promotion of new types of teaching and research the societal engagement need to be more deepened. In continuation to the recommendation and provisions earmarked in 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17), the University Grants Commission (UGC) has also launched a new scheme to support setting up a Centre for Fostering Social Responsibility and Community Engagement (CFSRCE) in various universities. The appeal of Honble President of India for setting up Community Development Cell in Higher Educational Institutions (HEI) and Prime Ministers idea of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan envisages the same thrust. Engagement with a community is a pre-requisite for Social Work Education and practice. Present paper is highlighting the community field work practice of Department of Social work, Central University of Rajasthan. The components of university community engagement are discussed in the context of social work practice.
