Honors and Award Committee

Honors and Award Committee

(Katherine Kendall Awards  Eileen Younghusband Lecture)

Katherine A. Kendall Memorial Award

The Katherine A. Kendall Award was introduced in 1992 to honor the IASSW Honorary President, Dr. Katherine A. Kendall. She served as voluntary secretary from 1954 to 1971 and Secretary-General of IASSW from 1971 to 1978. Dr. Kendall remained an active board member until she died 2010 and was active in the IASSW for more than five decades.

The process of nomination and selection of the nominee for the Katherine A. Kendall Award is arranged by an international committee comprising of members from the CSWE Kendall Institute Advisory Board, the regional Vice-Presidents (or regional representatives), and a Chair of the Committee appointed by the IASSW President, in consultation with the Chair of the CSWE Kendall Institute.   Members of the Committee should have a broad knowledge of their region and the wider social work education scene. The Chair should be appointed at the Congress preceding that in which the Award is to be made and confirmed no later than the autumn of that year.

The committee solicits nominations for the award as widely as possible. The call for nominations for Katherine A. Kendall Memorial Award goes to the membership through web-site announcement, listserves and other means of communications about one and a half years prior to the awarding which describes the nomination process and encourages readers to submit suitable names to members of the committee. A call should include note that a person can only nominate one candidate for the award.

Book- Internationalizing social work education

IASSW is proud to announce its new publication titled “Internationalizing Social Work Education, Insights from leading figures across the globe” authored by Gurid Aga Askeland and Malcolm Payne and published by Policy Press, UK.
The book traces the history of the establishment of international social work education after World War II in a unique way: through the voices of distinguished social work educators, recipients of the Katherine Kendall Award of the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW). The Awardees hail from Comoros, the Caribbean, India, Mexico, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States and the United Kingdom. Exploring the aims and priorities of these leading social work educators, Askeland and Payne draw out a historical and contextual account of how social work education became widely adopted in different national and cultural environments. The Awardees’ diverse lives and professional experiences reveal the issues they faced, the paths they travelled and the prospects and threats confronting social work and its education widely. Chapter 1 shows parallels between the growth of IASSW and internationalisation of social work education. Chapter 4 is dedicated to the achievements of Katherine Kendall and the milieu in which the ideas for the award were generated. More details

Eileen Younghusband Memorial Lecture

In 1984, to commemorate Eileen Younghusband (UK) who was an IASSW President from 1961 to 1968, the biennial Eileen Younghusband Memorial Lectures was inaugurated. A current social work educator (not necessarily an IASSW member) is invited to speak at the IASSW biennial Congress on a topic of relevance to international social work.

The Eileen Younghusband speaker must be a distinguished social work educator, who has an international reputation and recognition. Names are solicited from Board of Directors and IASSW members, ideally from all regions. The nominator is responsible for providing biographical information to support the nomination. The nominator is also asked to write a letter of nomination identifying the reasons for proposing the candidate.

The Younghusband lecturer is selected by vote of the Board of Directors in the year preceding the Congress.
