Critical and Radical Social Work. An international journal

'Critical and Radical Social Work: An international journal' is an exciting new journal published by The Policy Press that will promote debate and scholarship around a range of engaged social work themes.

The journal publishes papers which seek to analyse and respond to issues, such as the impact of global neoliberalism on social welfare; austerity and social work; social work and social movements; social work, inequality and oppression, and understanding and responding to global social problems (such as war, disasters and climate change).

It welcomes contributions that consider and question themes relating to the definition of social work and social work professionalism that look at ways in which organic and "indigenous" practice can expand concepts of the social work project and that consider alternative and radical histories of social work activity. As a truly international journal it actively encourages contributions from academics, scholars and practitioners from across the global village.

Critical and Radical Social Work will be available online for free during 2013, its first year of publication.
