IASSW’s “ADVANCING SOCIAL WORK SERIES” with SpringerBriefs

 

CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS
IASSW is pleased to announce that we will collaborate with Springerbriefs in publishing two book series: They feature leading national and international scholars reflecting on key social work practice, issues and debates, topics and innovative developments in social work education across the globe, gathering their work and ideas into these important book series.

The book series will be researched based, forward looking and contributing to professional practice and curriculum development in social work education, policy, research, training and professional development.

By bringing together internationally recognised authors and expertise to focus on an array of issues and concerns this series will reinforce social work as a global profession contributing to the significantly important area of social and welfare policy, education, and practice.

The series will also provide opportunities for social work professionals and educators in countries and regions where their voices are seldom heard in the international community to participate in this project.
