The Career Guidance and Social Justice blog has been pretty busy in 2022 with lots of new posts. But what were the most read posts on here over the last year? Tristram Hooley, offers a quick run down of the 10 most popular themes.
- Back in March we held a webinar where we brought together some of the key commentators on career guidance and social justice to discuss some of the key issues. The recording of the webinar was posted on the site shortly after and has proved to be the most popular post of the year. If you haven’t watched it yet, you can view it here.
- Ronald Sultana, Rie Thomsen and I wrote a new article discussing our five signposts to a socially just career guidance. Quite a lot of people seem to have liked it!
- Our article on social justice and career guidance during the pandemic also continued to receive a lot of views.
- Andrea Cox’s piece on careers in the literature curriculum also proved to be very popular and is well worth a read if you haven’t looked at it yet.
- Christina Santos wrote a very important piece on career guidance for displaced young people.
- Meanwhile debate raged about what constitutes an ethical careers policy, with Chris Webb summarising recent debates over the involvement of fossil fuels companies in careers fairs.
- Ricky Gee made the case for the adoption of a critical approach to employability.
- Kevin Albertson discussed the value of the concept of decent work in our thinking about work and the economy.
- While Pete Robertson subjected the concept of the labour market to some critical scrutiny.
- Finally, Sanna Toiviainen introduced her concept of co-agency.
