Attending to the wisdom that emerges through care work, Practice Dialogues challenges hierarchies of labor that discount the complexity and creativity of care, and that isolate rather than integrate areas of its practice. Recognizing the need for paradigms of survival and thriving that move past reductive conceptions of "human services" and "helping professions," this volume advances a method of research, called practice dialogues, into care work through radical presence, mutual listening, and collaborative writing. Contributors with a wide range of experience and expertise, including but not limited to health professions, education, martial arts, activism, and family caregiving, center the importance of care work as co-authorship. Recasting the traditional discourses of "helping" that reify the saviorism of service and the isolation of thought from action and reflection, Practice Dialogues calls readers, including the academic community, to respect and learn from care workers' wisdom as knowledge. Practice Dialogues draws on a wide range of scholarship from education, postcolonial cultural studies, Black studies, Indigenous studies, social work, trauma studies, and critical feminist studies. The dialogues go beyond "practice dialogues"; they co-create an exchange between scholarship and the ecosystems each care worker navigates, pushing the limits of what is possible within and beyond conventional boundaries.
