Through the use of a qualitative research approach, underpinned by a document analysis method, the article initiates a discourse which expounds on the philosophy through the lenses of the IFSW and IASSW 2014 Global Definition of Social Work. Substantially, it proffers justifications that cement the relevance of the Ubuntu philosophy in both the practice and theoretical frameworks of social work. | URI: | https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/00208728221078374 http://hdl.handle.net/11408/5156 |
