    Abstract

    Social justice is a foundational principle in global social work, underpinning its professional identity. Amidst global challenges rooted in neoliberal capitalism and colonial legacies, social work’s commitment to justice is vital. While social work students typically learn about social (in)justice theories, developing advanced skills in social justice practice requires an integrated and experiential curriculum, such as field education. The Social Justice Hub at Curtin University serves as a conduit for engagement with university resources, aiming to drive transformative change towards a more just society. Social work students on field placement codesigned the Social Justice Hub to create projects and innovations that are collaborative responses to enduring social justice problems. The placement model addresses a gap in learning about community building, project management and co-designing projects for social justice outcomes. This paper describes the Social Justice Hub and its development as a field placement opportunity for learning about social justice practice.
