The 2023 Joint Social Work Education and Research Conference will be held in Glasgow city centre on 15 and 16 June. It will be hosted by the School of Social Work and Social Policy, University of Strathclyde.
The theme – Social work education, research and practice in turbulent times – acknowledges the vital role that social work played during the pandemic and will continue to play as we confront the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, global conflict, the economic crisis, political change and unrest across the UK and beyond.
The aim of the conference is to celebrate good practice, while encouraging a renewed commitment to more radical and critical social work that has activism at its centre. The impact of dealing with ongoing crisis on the profession and its workforce will also be addressed, with plans to showcase work that promotes the wellbeing of the profession.
Contributions for presentations and workshops are being sought. Further details are available on the event website.
The conference is an excellent opportunity for social work academics, tutors, practice educators, people with lived experience, researchers, students, practitioners and policy makers, from across the UK and internationally, to meet together to network, share learning, new ideas, and to discuss contemporary issues impacting on social work education and practice.
