Tina Wilson (She/Her)is an assistant professor in the School of Social Work at UBC. Her research revolves around changing understandings of social justice within professional projects like social work and within broader state sponsored welfare infrastructures. This includes ongoing negotiations among scientific and social movement knowledges and communities, and shifts related to environmental crisis discourse. Tina’s current research looks at how ‘the social’ and ‘nature’ were understood in the early development of professional social work in English Canada. Before entering the academy, she worked for about 15 years in direct practice in Toronto, Canada, primarily as front-line staff in the youth and women’s homeless shelter systems, and in various forms of worker, network and social movement organizing.
