Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

For social workers who are working within a discipline associated with social control an awareness of one’s social location and the impacts thereof is critical. This is particularly true in South Africa, where issues of power, race and class have been overtly contested over centuries. However, the South African literature largely overlooks the necessity of such examination, ignoring issues of power and domination in the social work relationship. I offer my own auto-ethnographic reflections as a South African social worker and researcher, living in Canada, critically examining how power was negotiated. The issues raised here may be relevant for those examining their practice in other contexts. Further, these reflections are useful in the international social work discourse, particularly to researchers engaging in transnational endeavours.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
