Assignment 1

Social policy

Details of task: In this task students will complete a simulated on-line discussion forum post in the form of a blog post. Simulated means that students are NOT required to post their tasks on-line, as they are only for the purposes of the assessment task.

Students will prepare a simulated blog post for a social work discussion forum. In this post, they will apply Bacchi's WPR policy analysis framework to the Cashless Debit Card policy

Students will write a brief introduction to their post (100 words maximum) describing the relevance of Bacchi's framework to social work practice. Students will then answer the six questions in Bacchi's WPR policy analysis framework, undertaking Step 7 outlined below (Apply this list of the 6 questions to your own problem representations with regards to the Cashless Debit Card policy):

WPR policy analysis framework - for this assessment task the policy which is being explored is the Cashless Debit Card policy

Question 1: What's the problem represented to be in the specific policy (cashless debit card)?

Question 2: What deep-seated presuppositions or assumptions (conceptual logics) underlie this representation of the "problem" (problem representation) (for this assessment task - at least one reference - Strategic-review-of-cape-york-income-management is a useful starting point)

Question 3: How has this representation of the "problem" come about? (for this assessment task - at least one reference - Strategic-review-of-cape-york-income-management is a useful starting point)

Question 4: What is left unproblematic in this problem representation? Where are the silences? Can the "problem" be conceptualized differently?

Question 5: What effects (discursive, subjectification, lived) are produced by this representation of the "problem"? (for this assessment task - two referenced examples)

Question 6: How and where has this representation of the "problem" been produced, disseminated and defended? How has it been and/or how can it be disrupted and replaced? (for this assessment task - two referenced examples)

Step 7: Apply this list of questions to your own problem representations. This means that you will COMPLETE QUESTIONS 1-6.
