✊ Theme: The Politics of Social Work – A Need for Courage and Action in an Unfair World
The 30th edition of Social Dialogue, hosted by the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), invites courageous voices to join a powerful conversation. We are calling for articles that explore the deeply political dimensions of social work—both past and present—and how social workers are responding to today’s pressing global challenges.
As the world faces unprecedented transformations—from climate disasters and global conflict to the erosion of democracy and the rise of autocracy—social work stands at a crossroads. Can a revitalized political lens offer a way forward?
