decolonisation, social work, Legitimation Code TheoryAbstract
The aim of this article is to discuss the main theories of decolonisation in the field of social work, their analysis and classification based on the Legitimation Code Theory. Conclusions will refer to possible ways for decolonisation in the analysed field of knowledge production. The text is based on the concept of decolonisation in the field of social work theory and practice understood as a global profession. The idea of Legitimation Code Theory is introduced with which theoretical perspectives in the field of decolonising social work are analysed. The conclusions concern the possible development of the decolonisation process in the field of integrating and separating theoretical inspirations.
