Heather Boetto，澳大利亞查爾斯斯圖爾特大學副教授。

這是一本全面探討在社會工作中教授生態社會框架的挑戰與機會的書籍。不同的觀點為理解在不同背景下教授生態社會工作的實踐開啟了新的可能性。對於任何有興趣理解和教授社會工作與環境問題之間關係的人來說，這是一本強烈推薦的讀物。

Kati Närhi，芬蘭於韋斯屈萊大學教授。

本書旨在倡導在提供社會工作及相關課程的教育機構中教授和學習生態社會工作。這是第一本專門聚焦於生態社會工作教學與學習的書籍，也是首批納入學生對生態社會工作教學、學習和實踐的觀點與倡議的書籍之一。

生態社會工作是一個不斷演變的框架，旨在從人類是地球生命網絡一部分的前提出發，學習和實踐社會工作。雖然這種理解應該指導人類活動，但當前行星規模的人為社會環境問題，如氣候危機、海洋酸化、生物多樣性和物種喪失，卻證明了相反的情況。社會工作及相關職業源於相同的人本中心世界觀，需要重新配置與非人類及存在的行星界限之間的關係。這需要對社會工作及相關職業進行深入的更新，以及在教育中以生態社會/生態學範式變革為核心。

本書由來自世界不同地區的學者、學生和實踐者撰寫，提供跨學科的觀點，內容包括：
- 關於生態社會工作教學與學習的概念、方法和經驗的章節和案例研究。
- 對生態社會工作在原則和實踐中當前情況的討論。
- 關於生態社會工作所需的新思維類型及其教學和實踐方式的想法，促進經濟、社會和環境的可持續性。
