Anställningsbarhet är numera ett centralt policybegrepp i Sverige. Det förekommer ofta i diskussioner om utbildning och arbetsliv. Men många gånger används begreppet okritiskt och dess betydelse kan vara oklar.Boken utforskar olika innebörder och möjliga konsekvenser av diskursen om anställningsbarhet, sett ur utbildningens och arbetslivets perspektiv. Exempel på frågor som behandlas är: Hur kommer det sig att anställningsbarhet är så populärt i dag? I vilka olika sammanhang och på vilka sätt kan vi se att det används? Leder utbildning till att den studerande blir anställningsbar? Vilka sorters medarbetare ses som mer åtråvärda än andra i diskussioner om anställningsbarhet, och vilka exkluderas därmed?Den andra upplagan är kraftigt omarbetad och innehåller ett antal nya kapitel. Tre grundläggande teman strukturerar diskussionen: Anställningsbarhet som begrepp och politisk vision, sammanlänkningen mellan utbildning och arbetsliv samt inkludering och exkludering.Anställningsbarhet – perspektiv från utbildning och arbetsliv vänder sig till universitetsstuderande inom samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen samt policymakare, politiker, chefer, rekryterare och utbildningsplanerare i olika typer av verksamheter.

Handledning kan förstås som en ”reflekterad praktik” som inkorporerar både teoretiska, praktiska och etiska överväganden. Målet med denna process är inte att avtäcka en på förhand given eller korrekt praktik. Handledningens syfte är snarare att utveckla en så kallad praktisk yrkesteori som kan utgöra en reflekterad grund för professionellt handlande.Denna klassiska grundbok täcker hela handledningsfältet, inklusive dess begrepp, förutsättningar, metoder och samtalsformer. Den innehåller även diskussioner av besläktade fenomen såsom kunskap och reflektion.Tredje upplagan är uppdaterad utifrån den senaste forskningen på fältet, och innehållet har fått en delvis ny struktur. Dessutom har det tillkommit en längre diskussion om relationen mellan handledning och bedömning, en viktig aspekt som tidigare varit styvmoderligt behandlad i litteraturen.Handledning är ett viktigt moment i många universitetsutbildningar, och boken kan med fördel användas som kurslitteratur. Den är även relevant för olika grupper av yrkesverksamma med intresse för handledning.

In a world gripped by intersecting crises and deepening inequalities, can social work break free from its colonial entanglements to imagine a more just and compassionate future?Decolonising Social Work Education: Memory, Haunting and Critical Hope in the Nordics confronts the enduring legacies of colonialism that continue to shape the foundations of social work education. Through the lenses of haunting, memory, and critical hope, it challenges the discipline’s historical complicity with systems of domination and calls for a radical reimagining of its pedagogical core. Grounded in pluriversal knowledges and informed by decolonial thought, this book advocates for a transformative, relational curriculum—one that resists neoliberalism, carceral logics, and epistemic injustice.Drawing on examples from the Nordic context, it offers a bold vision for social work rooted in justice, equity, and ecological interconnectedness. With humility, reflection, and collective imagination, it charts a path towards a liberatory future where social work becomes a force for healing and transformation.

A thought-provoking and practical workbook with exercises to help you discover a career that is truly fulfilling.There are few questions harder or lonelier than, ‘What should I do with the rest of my working life?’ We are often simply meant to know the answer. But in private, some of us are acutely aware that we aren’t happy where we are and would love to find a way towards a job that is truly fulfilling.Tantalisingly, many of the answers we need to better direct our futures are inside us, but we need help getting them out, making sense of them and assembling them into a plan. This workbook contains a series of prompts, questions and essays designed to help us systematically understand more about our working identities and to guide us (with something like the skill of a great career therapist) towards an approach to work that will honour our talents and allow us to thrive.

A USA TODAY bestseller.Your mindset may be the only thing standing between you and your potential. Break free from the beliefs that hold you back.As a leader, do you find yourself frustrated, wondering why employees don't meet expectations, peers are slow to act, or pressure from your boss falls unfairly on your shoulders? It's easy to point a finger at others and double down on getting results. But have you ever considered that the problem might not be them—that it might be you?Through countless hours coaching executives over the past twenty years, C-suite adviser Muriel M. Wilkins has pinpointed the biggest reason behind these common leadership challenges: hidden blockers. These unconscious beliefs can actively stall progress if leaders aren't aware of their existence, preventing them from seeing a situation clearly, solving problems effectively, and advancing their careers.In Leadership Unblocked, Wilkins reveals seven key beliefs that hold leaders back, from "I know I'm right" to "I need to be involved" to "I don't belong here." Combining illustrative and powerful coaching conversations and research from the fields of neuroscience, leadership, and adult development theory, Wilkins offers a self-coaching guide for identifying, unpacking, and breaking through these barriers.By using the practical advice in this book, leaders and aspiring leaders alike can cultivate the mindset to achieve their goals and finally become the leaders they want to be.
