Special Issue Planned for Spring 2014 |
|
| Advances in Social Work is pleased to announce a special issue scheduled for Spring 2014 entitled: “Eyewitnesses to History: First-Hand Accounts of Sages of the Profession.” This special issue, co-edited by Drs. Virginia Majewski and Gerald T. Powers, will consist of a series of invited articles concerning “sages of the profession,” individuals who are generally recognized as intellectual and professional pioneers in the field of social work. The intent of this special issue is to capture the rich heritage of the social work profession and its educational initiatives as seen through the eyes of those who have actually lived and contributed to that heritage. Having personally experienced much of the profession’s evolution, these persons are ideally qualified to recapture for posterity many of the nuances of the personalities, policies, practices, and institutions that have profoundly influenced the direction of current and future social work practice and education. Since articles for this issue will be by invitation, there is no accompanying “call for papers,” just this announcement to whet your appetite for what should be a unique and valuable issue. |
