Call for Special Issues
Critical and Radical Social Work invites proposals for special Issues for consideration by the Editors in early 2018. The deadline for proposal submissions is 15 December 2017.
The aim of a Special Issue is to bring together a set of cutting-edge research articles that develops a specific debate or topic on a theme relevant to the remit of Critical and Radical Social Work. This may include articles presenting
theoretical, conceptual and/or empirical material. A Special Issue must be integrated around a common theme, and must take forward scholarly debate. It may be internationally comparative or may focus on one specific region of the world.
Find out more on our website.
The Editors will announce their initial decisions on proposals received, and indicate which one has been accepted for development and planned publication in 2019, by 31 March 2018.
