About this book series

Springer Series in International Social Work is a series of full-length monographs and contributed volumes that presents a global portrait of social work education within and across different economic, cultural and political contexts. Volumes published in this Series mainly probe different aspects of social work education such as curriculum, pedagogy, practice and research in both local and global contexts. Further, contributions that deal with development and delivery of social work education and its connection with different service users, such as minority groups, vulnerable groups and social exclusion, also are included to explore the position and development of social work education and practice in different countries across the globe.

The objectives of the Series include, among others, to: (1) present a true portrait of international social work scholarship and its challenges in different cultural contexts; (2) invigorate the challenges involved in training future social workers for practice in diverse contexts and social realities; (3) demonstrate a clear significance and contribution to advancing knowledge in the areas of: indigenization of knowledge, practice methods and interventions; post-colonial social work; social work ethics and values; determining the scope of social work in different socio-political-economic and cultural contexts; (4) present specific models, both conceptual and practical, related to multi-cultural, cross-national and international social work education; and (5) examine emerging  perspectives on: leadership in social work; media, technology and teaching; and social work in the era of social media. 

Springer Series in International Social Work covers a range of contributions and perspectives from cross-national and comparative social work education, practice and research of interest to a global audience. Both solicited and unsolicited manuscripts are considered for publication in this Series.
