Introduction

Abstract

This introduction to the edited volume, Decolonising Social Work in Finland: Racialisation and Practices of Care, coalesces a transnational community of social workers, educators, advocates and scholars to identify the long-term impact of coloniality extant in Finnish social work practices and to envision how diverse practices might move us towards deeply needed decolonised futures. This introduction discusses Finnish social work in the context of coloniality and futurism.
