title: Nonviolence as a Weapon of the Resourceful: From Claims to Tactics in Mobilization*
abstract: Recent world events have renewed interest among social movement scholars in strategies and associated outcomes in campaigns against nondemocratic regimes. Most comparative work is limited to large scale mobilization and takes violent/nonviolent tactics as given, thereby overlooking prior group mobilization and initial tactic choice. While a chosen tactic is plausibly related to group characteristics and resources, we argue that the mobilization process underlying large scale campaigns begins when groups stake claims and assess those claims' potential. The proposed framework can help to explain both the specific tactics chosen and whether campaigns take on violent or nonviolent forms. We focus on grievances and the origins of mobilization through formulation of claims making disputes over regime type, government composition, and electoral legitimacy independent of mobilization and consider how resources provide a comparative advantage for violence or nonviolence. An application to states in the former Sovi.

title: Gendered Carceral Logics in Social Work: The Blurred Boundaries in Gender Equality Policies for Imprisoned and Battered Women in Spain
abstract: This article uses feminist critical analysis as a conceptual framework in order to reflect upon the carceral drifts adopted by gender equality policies in Spain. This issue has been deeply analyzed in the American context, and we believe it is relevant to bring the experiences of other contexts into discussion, such the Spanish one, where the welfare state has been affected by the 2008 global financial crisis. With the aim of adding to the discussion and making a contribution from feminisms and social work perspectives, this work carries out a comparative analysis on carceral policies addressed to women, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, on protection policies for women victims of gender based violence. Based on our fieldwork in Andalucia (Spain) for more than 10 years, as well as on legal and programmatical text analysis, we question the alleged control/protection separation, highlighting the existence of gendered carceral logics in both contexts. We highlight the social control to which women are subject and for which subjects women to the image of a "good victim" on the one hand and a "good mother" on the other.

title: Butler on (Non)violence, Affect and Ethics: Renewing Pedagogies for Nonviolence in Social Justice Education
abstract: This paper complements pedagogical efforts of foregrounding nonviolence on inner reflexive work with approaches that highlight notions of nonviolence as both subjective and collective resistance to the norms and structures of social injustice and violence. It is argued that Butler's theorization of affect, ethics and (non)violence can serve as a productive entry point into enriching our understandings of ethical and political responses to violence in the context of social justice education, especially in renewing pedagogies for nonviolence. In particular, Butler's construal of nonviolence as enmeshed with ethics and affect is noteworthy in social justice education for two important reasons: first, it highlights how the ethical and the political are intertwined, just as violence and nonviolence are entangled, hence theorizing nonviolence in social justice education is founded in the claim that we are all from the beginning enmeshed in both resistance and complicity. Second, Butler's understanding of nonviolence as an interruption or suspension of norms that are taken for granted emphasizes the need to take into consideration how affective relations may be mobilized in social justice education not only on the basis of ethical appeals but also on political terms.

title: The Love Ethic: A Radical Theory for Social Work Practice
abstract: Love is marginalised in professional social work codes of ethics in Australia and internationally. Yet, reflecting the emancipatory imperative of social work, feminist bell hooks promotes love as a political process to transform systems of injustice such as capitalism, patriarchy, and racism. Analysing the works of hooks and other relevant literature, this article discusses "the love ethic" a model of relationship oriented activism encompassing dialogue, nonviolence, interconnectedness between people and between people and nature, reflexivity, shared power, and solidarity. It provides some practical suggestions for love based social work practice, such as self forgiveness, pursuing gender equal relationships, upholding fair workplace conditions, honouring Indigenous peoples, supporting oppressed people to assert their rights, connecting local and global action, nurturing symbiotic relationships with nature, and supporting empowering spiritualities. The love ethic supports radical social workers to engage in activism, and necessitates further exploration within academia and practice.

title: Introduction to the Special Section on Public Impact Scholarship in Social Work: A Conceptual Review and Call to Action
abstract: This article advances a longstanding dialogue on the relationship between academic scholarship and public life. Focusing on contributions from social work, we articulate a framework for conceptualizing public impact scholarship as characterized by intentional efforts to create social change through the translation and dissemination of research to nonacademic audiences. We offer examples of social work scholarship that meet this definition, and we distinguish public impact scholarship from related approaches such as community engaged scholarship. We also describe the importance of public impact scholarship for social work and explore several tensions associated with this type of scholarship, including time and technical constraints, risks and rewards, measurement challenges, and institutional barriers. This article introduces a special section that further addresses the relationship between public impact scholarship and other forms of engaged scholarship, provides illuminating examples of public impact scholarship by social workers, and suggests roles for social work leaders in supporting and promoting this work.

title: Gerontological social work and cardiac rehabilitation
abstract: Cardiac rehabilitation is a setting in which integrating social work services can benefit older adults. Many cardiac rehabilitation patients endorse symptoms of stress and depression following a cardiac event, impeding their ability to participate fully in cardiac rehabilitation services or recover from a heart attack. Gerontologically trained social workers can improve the care of older adults with heart disease in a variety of ways and this paper discusses the potential roles social workers can play in enhancing care. Two examples demonstrating how community academic partnerships can lead to improved options for older adults following a heart attack are discussed. First, using a microsystems approach, social workers embedded within cardiac rehabilitation may improve patient quality of life, address social service needs, provide mental health treatment, and assist in the completion of standard cardiac rehabilitation assessments. Second, using a macrosystems approach, social workers can help communities by developing partnerships to establish infrastructure for new cardiac rehabilitation clinics that are integrated with mental health services in rural areas. Social workers can serve an important role in addressing the psychological or social service needs of cardiac rehabilitation patients while increasing access to care.
