Peter Hogg on bell hooks, & love in practice

Peter is a social worker and community development practitioner at Nambour Community Centre. Peter works directly with community members to facilitate connection, relationship and participatory action. He integrates his inclusive approach into his work with some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people in our communities, reflecting his belief that community-driven responses are crucial to a just society.

Peter describes his practice as ‘based on the concepts of the love ethic and connectedness. Love is the underpinning value of how I try to be in the world – love defined not as emotion but as holding all beings in positive regard and actively working with people towards growth and well-being. Love sets a high bar for practice, one which I do not always attain. Also central to my practice is the realization that all beings are connected and that we thrive when we are in reciprocal relationships with each other. My practice is also informed by Critical Theory, care-based ethics, intersectionality, Anti-Oppressive Practice and Eco-Socialism.’
