Biography

Paul Michael Garrett is an elected member of the Irish Royal Academy and he has been awarded a Higher Doctorate by the National University of Ireland in recognition of his scholarly contributions. During a period of research sabbatical leave, he was Visiting Professor in Residence at the City University of New York (CUNY). He also presented papers and taught in Shanghai in the People’s Republic of China and has been invited to present keynote papers at international conferences in, for example, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Italy, Norway and the United States.

Paul’s significant interventions, in a range of debates on social work and social policy, have appeared in international peer reviewed journals across a range of disciplines. For example, initially published over twenty years ago, his work on responses to ‘unmarried mothers’ in the Republic of Ireland helped to ‘open up’ this topic as an area for future research.

He is the author of Welfare Words: Critical Social Work & Social Policy (Sage) published in 2018. One reviewer maintains that it is a 'fascinating and rich book, which documents the central place of language in the (re)production of social order and the importance of welfare words in delineating the parameters of our collective imagination’. Paul's Social Work and Social Theory (Policy Press, 2013), subsequently published in Chinese translation, was published as an expanded second edition in 2018. He has also written three volumes mapping facets of social work with children and families during the period of New Labour in the UK (1997-2010). He is also a member of the editorial collective of Critical Social Policy (CSP) where, for many years he has been the Editor of Reviews.

Having previously worked at the University of Nottingham, Paul arrived at NUI Galway, in 2004, to help set up the first social work programme in the west of Ireland. For a number of years, he was the Director of the MA in Social Work.

His research interests include: critical social theory and social work; discourses of marginality; neoliberal-inspired ‘reform’. Paul is keen to supervise post-graduate research students on these and related themes.
