ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses on theoretical and methodological lenses of glocality, creates new and in-between spaces for writers and readers to take on challenges in research and in education, practice and activism. The emergence of glocality and social work also creates new and in-between spaces for 'border workers' and 'third figures'. The book describes glocalisation as an emergent theoretical framework for social work that, alongside established concepts such as global and transnational, 'enrich complex understandings of interconnections, power asymmetries and interspatial social issues'. It discusses the new methodological space for social work where speech, conversation, thinking and creativity becomes a collective process where the social is re-shaped and re-considered as social practice through the inclusion of new analytical conceptualisations. The book draws attention to glocal social work shaped by body politics and embodied emotions that are physiological-psychological and sociological.
