Perspectives on Youth

Perspectives on youth is a new annual series on youth policy, research and practice supported by the EU-CoE Youth Partnership. The editors seek inspiring articles from researchers, practitioners and policymakers that are aimed at moving forward debates on youth and that have a European/ international relevance. This can include research articles, well-founded essays, or opinion pieces.

The series aims to function as an information, discussion, reflection and dialogue forum on European developments in the field of youth policy, youth research and youth work. The conceptual strategy should be critical and anticipative, reflecting European youth policies and their relevance for and impact on young people, also seeking for trends in the youth field that need innovative and forward-looking answers and strategies. All contributions should endeavour to address questions of transnationality and intercultural positions, rather than be restricted to the context of one particular country – though sometimes individual country perspectives, from different countries, might be invited but ‘covered’ by some short transnational editorial commentary. The series has the aim to reach out to a broader readership at all levels (policymakers, youth workers, practitioners, students and researchers).

European Journal of Social Work - Call for paper

Special Issue: UNDERSTANDINGS OF SOCIAL WORK: INTERNATIONAL, EUROPEAN AND NATIONAL PERSPECTIVES
Guest Editors: Corinne May Chahal, Professor of Applied Social Science and Social Work Lead, Lancaster University, Karen Lyons, Emeritus Professor (International Social Work), London Metropolitan University

Social work is a formal activity in many countries of the world with some recognisable characteristics shared across national boundaries. However, its form and function are also heavily influenced by local conditions such as national histories, culture, and political and economic considerations. Global and regional events and protocols now also play a part in informing ideas about social work, its values, and its practices. There are debates about the appropriateness of global statements jointly agreed by the International Federation of Social Workers and International Association of Schools of Social Work for countries and regions, namely the International Definition of Social Work, Ethics statement, and Global Standards for Social Work Education. There are also wide variations in the European region itself in relation to understandings of the nature of social work and the role of social professionals.
This special issue of European Journal of Social Work will aim to:
• explore current understandings of social work as both a local and an international activity;
• illustrate the ways in which European or international events and/or conventions influence local values, policies and practices, and the historical dimension of these developments; and
• identify the contribution of cross-national collaborations in social work education and/or research to understanding the interface between national and international domains of the profession.
The guest editors welcome proposals for contributions that advance these debates, from either a theoretical or an empirical perspective, or both.
The guest editors invite you to submit abstracts for consideration by email to
Karen@The-Lyons.co.uk and c.may-chahal@lancaster.ac.uk
The deadline for submission of abstracts is 30th August 2014.
Decisions on the commissioning of full papers will be made by 30th September 2014. Full papers will be submitted by 31st January 2015, and will be subject to full peer review prior to decisions on publication. All papers finally accepted will be published in either the special issue or a regular issue of the journal.

European Journal of Social Work

The European Journal of Social Work provides a forum for the social professions in all parts of Europe and beyond. It analyses and promotes European and international developments in social work, social policy, social service institutions, and strategies for social change by publishing refereed papers on contemporary key issues. Contributions include theoretical debates, empirical studies, research notes, country perspectives, and reviews. It maintains an interdisciplinary perspective which recognises positively the diversity of cultural and conceptual traditions in which the social professions of Europe are grounded. In particular it examines emerging European paradigms in methodology and comparative analysis.

The European Journal of Social Work is committed to the idea that the social professions have to respond to globalisation and the decline of existing welfare regimes in a critical, informed, and independent manner. It regards itself as a vehicle for their active contribution to the creation of a Social Europe. The specific competence of the social professions promotes practice based on justice and the recognition of human rights and thereby seeks to eliminate discrimination, racism and exclusion. The editorial board welcomes papers of high quality dealing with local, national, European, or international issues which advance this discourse.

Critical and Radical Social Work

Critical and Radical Social Work: An international journal is an exciting
new journal 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 neo-liberalism 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.
