After studying social work at the School for Social Work in Zurich, she studied social work in the USA (Minnesota, Minneapolis, New York) as a UN fellowship . She then studied sociology , social ethics and education in Zurich, where she also received a Dr. phil. PhD . She worked as a social worker in street work , in social services and in projects in the youth and foreigner sector. From 1967 she taught at the School for Social Work in Zurich (today Zurich University of Applied Sciences - Department of Social Work ). She received a lot of impulses for her scientific work from Werner Obrecht, among others . She gave numerous lectures at home and abroad and published a lot. She became a lecturer at several universities (e.g. Trier, Berlin) and since 1998 professor at the Technical University of Berlin . Over time, she kept a close connection to the practice of social work. B. in the Swiss Women's Council for Foreign Policy and other women's projects. In her dissertation (1983) she laid the foundation for her own theory, which she continuously developed over time.

Dust-Bernasconi could - according to Christine Labonté-Roset, professor at Alice Salomon University Berlin in a lecture in 2016 - be described as the creator of the word social work as a human rights profession , even if “there were already many human rights activists beforehand / inside (sic!) who also made a decisive contribution to the development of social work in this direction ”. Since 2000, Staub-Bernasconi has largely designed “the master’s program of the same name ” and developed the curriculum together with others . The course started in 2002 “in cooperation with the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin, the Evangelical University of Berlin , the Catholic University of Berlin and the Institute for Rehabilitation Sciences at the Humboldt University ”. The course was later taken over by the UNESCO Chair for Human Rights Education at the University of Magdeburg , as well as by the Institute for Sociology at the University of Basel and the German Institute for Human Rights . The course was "accredited for the first time" in 2005 and "re-accredited" in 2009 and 2014.

Understanding of science

In her work, Staub-Bernasconi concentrates on the professional knowledge of social work and rejects the principle that social workers have to get “outside help”. She refers to the corresponding extensive national / international literature and demands from social work more self-awareness as well as more self-confidence regarding the theory. For them, social work means a “ socially bundled, reflexive and active response to certain realities that are assessed as socially and culturally problematic ”. This is the reason for their very wide range of work and research.
