ABSTRACT
This chapter is a critical reflective analysis of two journeys of international social work that the author undertook in 2016. One journey was to a refugee camp in Calais, France, called ‘the Jungle’; a name steeped in colonialism, conveying danger and dislocation. The Calais journey was undertaken with fellow students from the University of Salford’s Student Social Work Network. This chapter argues that if the politics of intersectionality as location is employed as a social work methodology and intervention, then social work would be more effective in challenging oppressive border constructions.
