Cet article présente un inventaire thématique des écrits scientifiques sur le travail social en contexte francophone minoritaire depuis les années 1990 et cherche à stimuler une réflexion sur les rapports entre la recherche et les communautés francophones minoritaires au Canada. La description des thèmes de recherche montre un dynamisme certain de la recherche, une grande diversité d’intérêts, une prédilection pour certaines thématiques dont celles de la santé et de l’intervention auprès des femmes et des personnes immigrantes. Mais il y aussi une absence d’écrits sur certains groupes dont les autochtones, et sur les milieux institutionnels d’intervention. Ces résultats s’expliquent notamment par la structuration des communautés et les conditions de la recherche en milieu francophone minoritaire, et permettent de tracer des voies pour la recherche à l’avenir.This article presents a thematic inventory of research writings on social work in French language minority contexts since the 1990s and aims to stimulate reflections on the relation between research and French language minority communities in Canada. The description of the research themes shows the dynamic nature of this research, its diversity, and its stronger interest in certain themes such as health, and intervention with women and immigrants. It also shows some areas in which this research is strikingly silent, notably in regards to institutional social work settings and to Indigenous Peoples. These results can be explained particularly by the structuration of French language minority communities and by the research conditions within them. As well, they also allow for some suggestions about research themes for the future
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
