[Apologies for cross-posting] What an impressive article this is! Here's a sample: "Although the title of this article [SOCIAL SERVICE OR SOCIAL CHANGE?] may be misleading in contrasting social service provision and social change work, the two do not necessarily go together easily and in many instances do not go together at all. There are some groups working for social change that are providing social service; there are many more groups providing social services that are not working for social change. In fact, many social service agencies may be intentionally or inadvertently working to maintain the status quo." It is so relevant to what our women in poverty are doing. As Kivel would have forecast, our efforts to mobilize are being resisted, most recently by Big Media. E.g., were it not for one senior writer (Stephen Hume of The Vancouver Sun), it would have been a complete media blackout. We will persist though. If it has to be underground, so be it.

By Paul Kivel http://www.paulkivel.com/articles/Social%20Service%20or%20Social%20Change.pdf Linda Green (OISE, Toronto) recently remarked in a post to PAR-L: "Paul Kivel is a violence prevention educator who is among those who are not simply falling into step with the mainstream prevention hype of the health bandwagon."
