Abstract

This article discusses the challenges and opportunities of social work practice research in promoting epistemic equality and contributing to the democratic development of knowledge in social work, and it challenges the well-established regimes of truth. The authors reflect on the dilemmas that have arisen from their own practice and consider how they can relate to these issues as practice researchers.
