Alexandra Crampton is an Associate professor at the Marquette University’s department of Social and Cultural science. In a 2015 article; Decolonizing Social Work "Best Practices'' through a Philosophy of Impermanence, Alexandra, arguing that decolonization requires more than surface level change argues for the decolonization of social work concepts of best practices and evidence based practice. Using the story of the successful decolonization of Sacred practices of the Zuni war God and the metaphor of the Island developed by Shawn Wilson, to question the underlying western beliefs that perpetuate colonisation through permanence. In this episode of the voices of silence, our conversation is centered around what impermanence means, how it can contribute to decolonization and whether best practices are best described as verbs or nouns.
