Motivated by the current problematisation of so-called allochtonous Dutch in general, this dissertation looks into dealing with diversity in the field of social work in the Netherlands. It investigates how social workers relate to their clients, and to allochtonous clients in particular. The study primarily looks for answers within the profession itself. The approach taken includes local meaningmaking processes concerning what it means to be a social worker and the broader contexts in which these local meanings should be embedded. It discusses the everyday practices of social workers, based on an ethnographic study of a social workers, based on an ethnographic city. And, it traces back the roots of social work as a profession, its relation to the Dutch welfare state and the changing perception about clients. Ma(r)king Differences in Dutch Social Work offers an analysis of the social work discourse in context. Marleen van der Haar was born on the 27th of January 1978 in Breda.
