Sinopsis

Need to Get Somewhere Fastácritically explores the transition from post-secondary education to work - it seeks to complexify the dominant view of the transition from post-secondary education to work as a linear, distinct event that can be assessed through primarily financial indicators.áComplexifying our understanding of transition, as critical scholars/educators and critical practitioners, allows us to move beyond deficit-focused interventions and offers a more comprehensive understanding of how factors beyond the individual student constitute and constrain the transition experience.áWith a more complex understanding of transition, post-secondary educators, students, employers, and researchers can consider the pressures on students to 'get somewhere fast' and support transition processes that involve complex and interrelated factors.áNeed to Get Somewhere Fastáis grounded in the narratives of social service workers.áSocial service workers, practitioners who work with marginalized people in community-based, not-for-profit agencies, are a liminal group who face significant challenges, including tenuous work, vicarious trauma, and precarity.áTheir narratives of navigating the neoliberal institutions of school and work highlight power relations, idealized expectations, and the experience of transition as an ongoing process.áTheir narratives illustrate the importance of resistance, criticality, and exploring alternate discourses of what it means to successfully transition into a professional role.ááNeed to Get Somewhere Fastáputs more-than-human, relational, and performative ontologies to work to see what is possible, from a practical, ethical perspective, for educators and educational institutions.ááááááA unique and insightful perspective on the concept of transition from school to social service work. Filled with experiences and stories of social service workers, this book aims to guide individuals in viewing the transitional process as an ongoing, individualistic, and self-empowering one.áNeed to Get Somewhere Fastáshould captivate readers navigating their place in the demanding yet rewarding nature of social service work.á- Simran Notra, Addictions CounsellorAs someone who entered school with the goal to be seen as a professional and have my name on an office door, Meaghan DoughertyâÇÖs book looks at how one actually defines success. The interviews she conducts show a common theme of feeling like you need a piece of paper to prove your worth within the field of social services. There is no one ideal of a social services worker and anyone getting in the field should read this book if you want to feel less alone as you transition from school to the working world.á- Keshia Cleaver, BA Child and Youth Care
