Aims and scope

European Social Work Research (ESWR) is the flagship journal of the European Social Work Research Association (ESWRA) and is dedicated to the development, practice and utilisation of social work research. It is the only Europe-wide journal to focus uniquely on social work research and its intended audience is scholars, students, practitioners, policymakers and other researchers who have an interest in social problems, social work and the contribution that social work makes to just and equitable societies.

ESWR seeks to advance scholarship and debate, connecting empirical research with theoretical understandings that may inform, and be informed by, social work. The journal particularly welcomes innovation in social work research, including the development and application of innovative research methods and theory. As a double anonymous peer-reviewed journal, it provides a forum for high-quality research that contributes to understanding and furthering all aspects of social work. Articles need not originate in Europe, but must be relevant to contemporary European social work contexts and issues.

ESWR seeks to include high-quality research articles examining:

• All major social work practice areas , including (but not limited to): vulnerable children and families; mental health; addictions; disability; migrants, refugees and immigrants; employment and unemployment; health care and hospital social work; criminal justice; and sustainable social development.
• Contemporary challenges facing social work and the communities it serves, among them: poverty; social exclusion; discrimination and oppression; inequalities, injustice and relationships of power; abuse, trauma, violence and conflict; cultural, political and environmental hazards.
• Developing and strengthening effective social work practices, organisations, programmes, policies or movements for achieving positive change and empowerment.
• Developing and strengthening the social work profession , including social work education and training; professional identity, ethics and values; and interprofessional practice.

The journal values innovation and diversity, and so embraces research that uses a wide range of methodological approaches and is informed by a variety of theoretical and conceptual frameworks. Scholarly articles may be literature-based, conceptual or based on empirical research. They may use quantitative, qualitative or mixed empirical methodologies. Innovative methods and high-quality participative and practice research that engages with service users, carers and communities, are encouraged. ESWR also welcomes a variety of perspectives, such as psychological, philosophical, sociological, political, legal, ethical or related to human growth and development, whilst showing clear relevance to practice, management, regulation, policy, research, education or training in social work.

In addition to traditional research articles, ESWR features  Book Reviews and a ContrReflection, Exchange and Dialogue  section for shorter contributions (between 500 and 2000 words). This section is intended to provide a critically discursive space to provoke dialogue and debate, promote innovation and new initiatives, and to stimulate further contributions to the journal and to the European social work field. 

We also welcome proposals for Special Issues.  See our guidelines on how to submit a proposal .

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion statement outlines the ways in which we seek to ensure that equity, diversity and inclusion are integral to all aspects of our publishing, and how we might encourage and drive positive change.

(Given their dialogical nature, the available word-limit for these pieces may be increased, by agreement with the Editors; discussants will be named as the primary authors of the published piece).
• Articles that are based on interviews by one of the ESWR/RED section editors with particular social work researchers who are engaged in a distinctive and topical area of work. (Those interviewed will be named as the author of the published piece).

Those interested in writing for this section are invited to contact the RED Editors at  [email protected] .

Book reviews:  between 500 and 800 words. They should include a concise summary of a recently published book, cover the main argument and subject matter, and assess its originality and contribution to its field and relevance to its intended audience.

European Conference of Social Work Education 2023

Diversity and social work education: building bridges for sustainable futures.

The European Association of Schools of Social Work and Institute of Social Work of Oporto (Instituto Superior de Serviço Social do Porto) announce the 2023 European Conference on Social Work Education, which aims to be an international forum for dialogue and discussion about concerns, challenges and practices in social work education.

In times when freedom and democracy are challenged by environmental crisis, war, insecurity, and the growth of extreme-right movements in Europe, the overarching themes of the conference are respect for diversity, equality, and the achievement of socially responsible societies. The conference promotes the mission of the EASSW towards the inalienable rights of the individual, freedom, justice, and peace to foster cooperation, collegiality, and solidarity. It builds further on the Tallin conference’s 2021 themes of resilience and innovation in working together in partnership for safer and environmentally sustainable futures.

Bridging solidarities: coping with moral emotions

How can social workers foster and maintain bridging solidarities? And what does our knowledge about bridging solidarities imply for social work education? In encounters between social workers, volunteers and citizens with a migration and/or refugee background, cultural differences can be serious obstacles. Social workers often find creative, practical solutions to coping with cultural difference, thereby fostering bridging solidarities. We will discuss some of these creative inventions and their implications for social work education. However, in practice other issues (than cultural difference) are often equally or even more pressing. Issues like how to achieve reciprocity and equivalence in the interaction. Or how to cope with moral emotions such as compassion, duty, gratefulness, and pride. We will therefore also discuss how such moral emotions can be obstacles to fruitful interaction between different groups and what social workers can do to overcome them and foster bridging solidarities. The lecture is based on international literature as well as on empirical research on encounters between social workers, volunteers and people with a migration and/or refugee status in the Netherlands.

Calling for care in technological societies: Ethical boundaries and impacts on social work education

Over the last few years, many scientific works have been reflecting on how technology influences Social Work processes, values and principles. Although it contains positive elements that can be used in favour of more creative and strategic social intervention, the technologization of processes and interactions does not cease to involve renewed and highly complex issues. Reflection around the ethical thresholds of the professional relationship, for example, and the redefinition of deontological principles become central. How is it possible to ensure privacy and confidentiality and prevent dual relationships? How can social work implement cultural competence to apprehend the multidimensionality of the problematics experienced by audiences from different cultures that populate the same spaces (even virtual spaces)? How is it possible to bridge the digital divide in accessing and understanding social, economic and political rights? The talk will discuss concepts such as “digital empathy”, among others, and advocate the need for a renewed ethics of care permeated with ethics of justice and “digital intelligence”. The construction of a fair care society is affirmed as the humanist axis in a society that runs the risk of concealing what is human. This implies a renewed advocacy around diversity, the creation of bonds, sustainability and justice, which uses technological means and tools in the best way but goes beyond them to build a conscious and consistent humanism. The role of Social Work in building this renewed ethical-political project is central, but educational models must also be revisited. A brief reflection on the axes for the transformation of educational models in Social Work in the light of ongoing transformations will constitute the closing topic of the communication.

BOOK OF ABSTRACTS

Conference themes.

After the second world war, the western world committed to fundamental social rights that came to be considered as inalienable. However, we live in an era where we are witnessing a reversal of these rights. Freedom and democracy are currently being challenged both by external issues, for example, the war in Ukraine, and by internal issues, such as the growth of extreme right-wing movements. In this topic, participants are invited to discuss the impacts of these recent changes and present projects or strategies outlining how Social Work Education can continue to uphold the profession’s core values and committment to rights within such a challenging context.

This theme focuses on recognition and understanding of diversity, reducing inequalities and promoting empowerment and hope to transform oppressive conditions.. This concerns the history of colonisation and imperialism and multiple forms of inequalities, including health, safety, and economy, which intersect with structural life conditions of privilege and marginalization such as age, able-bodiedness, ethnicity, gender, and race. Presenters in this thematic group are invited to share knowledge and discuss practices linked to intersecting inequalities.

For decades, we have developed social work methods, assuming that they will be implemented in a democratic environment. Today we can see how fragile this assumption is as we witness the rise of authoritarianism across Europe. To such challenges as radical capitalism, right-wing extremism or populism, we can add the most complex and topical question of social work (education) in totalitarian / authoritarian countries: how can we help to strengthen communities in the fight for fundamental rights, awakening in them a sense of responsibility and collective agency? Presenters in this group are asked to explore that question.

We live in a time of environmental crisis where social work education and practice are faced with the need to develop responsive knowledge and pedagogical strategies. Presentations in this thematic group are invited to elaborate on projects, methodologies and practice skills that promote diverse forms of environmental sustainability in SWE across different approaches, such as ‘indigenous-, ‘environmental-’, ‘eco-social-‘, ‘green-‘, ‘(post-)anthropocentric’ social work.

Scientific research and professional practice have shown that the different forms of artistic expression (music, theatre, dance, poetry, visual- and digital arts) are particularly effective pedagogical tools for social intervention and transformative learning. They also contribute to the development of alternative languages to the usual technocracy of Social Work. Presenters in this thematic group are invited to share knowledge and discuss theoretical departures and pedagogical practices linked to the use of different forms of expression in SWE.

Never before has an entire generation experienced a pandemic in real time context. All social, economic, and political structures had to adapt in record time, as did universities and SWE. Education was transformed to take place through a digitalised environment. In this theme, participants are invited to present educational strategies, research and intervention projects that have been examples of such adaptations.

Ukraine war latest: Ukraine keeping close eye on Belarus border as troops amass

Russia has launched several air attacks on Ukraine this week, costing Moscow a reported £1.1bn. Meanwhile, Ukraine says it's keeping a close eye on its border with Belarus after a build-up of troops there in recent days.

• Battlefield situation: Latest frontlines in maps
• Watch: Who are Ukraine's secret resistance?
• Your questions answered: Strategic consequences for Ukraine if Pokrovsk falls
• Reporting by Mark Wyatt

We'll be back with more updates and analysis tomorrow, but before we go, here's a recap of the key developments that took place today:

• Ukrainian shelling in Russia's Belgorod region killed one person and injured others, according to officials;
• A fighter jet from Belarus attempted to shoot down a Russian drone that flew into the country's airspace this morning;
• Russia's huge air attacks across Ukraine this week cost Moscow more than £1bn, the UK representative to the UN said;
• Ukraine said it was keeping a close eye on its border with Belarus after a build-up of troops there in recent days;
• Ukraine's top commander Oleksandr Syrskyi said fighting in Pokrovsk is "exceptionally tough";
• Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine would not forgive Russia "for a single destroyed Ukrainian life" as the country marked the Day of Remembrance of Defenders of Ukraine.

A military court in Moscow has placed Pavel Popov, a former deputy defence minister, in detention on suspicion of fraud in the latest of a string of corruption probes of officials tied to ex-defence minister Sergei Shoigu.

The case against Popov, who has served in his role since 2013, is the third investigation into a senior defence official relating to construction work at Patriot Park - a military theme park near Moscow.

The war-themed tourist attraction near Moscow displays a vast collection of Russian and Soviet weaponry and offers visitors the chance to clamber on tanks and take part in combat simulations.

Investigators said Popov, beginning in 2021, had diverted various building materials from the park to his own country house for installation work.

Popov has been detained until 29 October.

He denies guilt, his lawyer told the RIA state news agency.

Popov joins at least a dozen officials who, since April, have been caught up in the biggest wave of corruption scandals to hit the Russian military and defence establishment in years.

In May, soon after the first arrests, Vladimir Putin unexpectedly removed Mr Shoigu as defence minister and replaced him with Andrei Belousov in what was widely seen as a move to ensure tighter management of Russia's vast defence budget.

Russian political commentators said the investigation into Popov was clearly linked to a broader anti-graft crackdown undertaken by Belousov against those with ties to Mr Shoigu.

A Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet was destroyed in a crash on Monday, a US defence official has said.

According to the official, the cause has not yet been determined - pilot error or mechanical failure.

It comes after Russia staged a missile and drone attack on Ukraine on Monday.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that F-16 jets were used to repel the attack on Monday and showed good results.

He had announced earlier this month that Ukraine had started flying F-16s for operations within the country, confirming the long-awaited arrival of the US-made fighter jets which Ukraine has been pushing for since the start of the war.

Four nuclear power units at two different power plants in Ukraine were disconnected from the grid during the Russian attack on Monday, Ukraine's presidential office head, Andriy Yermak, reports.

In a statement on Telegram , Mr Yermak said power units at Rivne NPP, in northwest Ukraine, and South Ukrainian NPP in the south, had been disconnected.

What happened on Monday?

Russian forces unleashed 236 drones and missiles in a massive attack on Ukraine. 

Seven people were killed and 15 regions were struck, with explosions heard in the capital, Kyiv. 

Ukraine said hypersonic missiles were used in the assault.

Fighting in Pokrovsk is "exceptionally tough", Ukraine's top commander Oleksandr Syrskyi has said. 

Mr Syrskyi, who has spent several days on the eastern front, also said that Russia was throwing everything it could into its assaults, trying to break through Ukrainian defences.

"Fighting is exceptionally tough," he said, adding that Ukraine had to constantly use unorthodox methods to strengthen its positions.

For context : Russia's army is closing in on Pokrovsk, a critical logistics hub for the Ukrainian defence in the area. 

The region, which had a pre-war population of about 60,000, is one of Ukraine's main defensive strongholds.

Its capture would compromise Ukraine's defensive abilities and supply routes and would bring Russia closer to its stated aim of capturing the entire Donetsk region.

Ukraine says it's keeping a close eye on its border with Belarus after a build-up of troops there in recent days.

Kyiv's foreign ministry accused Minsk last week of concentrating a "significant number of personnel" in the Gomel region near Ukraine's northern border "under the guise of exercises".

It swiftly warned Belarusian officials not to make "tragic mistakes under Moscow's pressure" and withdraw its forces.

The Institute for the Study of War said Belarus's troop deployment was likely intended to divert Ukrainian soldiers from other fronts.

It also assessed that Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko was "extremely unlikely to risk combat with Ukraine that could weaken his regime".

Speaking on television today, a spokesperson for Ukraine's border guard service said it had detected no immediate threats on the border, but that Ukrainian troops were keeping it constantly monitored.

"This is tens of kilometres from our border, at different points – different distances," said Andriy Demchenko.

"What is happening on the territory of Belarus is actively monitored by intelligence units, the ministry of defence and the state border service in order to understand how the situation is changing, how threatening it can be for Ukraine.

"So that all components of our defence forces, which strengthen this direction, have the opportunity to react in time to any actions."

Ukraine is calling on the civilian population in its eastern city of Pokrovsk to evacuate as Russian troops draw closer to its outskirts.

Readers have been sending in their questions to our senior correspondents and military experts for their take on what could happen next.

Today, Malcolm asks:

How serious is the situation in Pokrovsk? If the city falls to Russian forces, what are the strategic consequences for Ukraine?

Military analyst Sean Bell says...

It is very difficult to provide clarity over the tactical progress of the war given the relative paucity of detailed information about progress, challenges and opportunities.  

However, it appears likely that Vladimir Putin's near-term objective of his "special military operation" is to secure Crimea, the Donbas and the land bridge between the two areas.  

This summer, Russia's main effort appears to have been securing the final component of the Donbas, and despite the much-publicised casualty rate being suffered by Moscow's forces - more than 1,000 casualties a day - Russia continues to make slow but steady progress.  

Pokrovsk is a strategically important logistics and transport hub for Ukrainian forces in the region, and Russian forces are now reported to be only six miles away from the town, leading the Ukrainians to evacuate the civilian population.

The Russian president knows that it is very difficult to maintain momentum during the winter months, so he has perhaps 10 to 12 weeks available to achieve his objectives before the winter weather settles in.   

If Russian forces can seize Pokrovsk before the winter, it is possible that Mr Putin will indicate he is ready to negotiate an end to the conflict.  

Depending on the outcome of the forthcoming US presidential elections, that raises the prospect of Mr Putin being rewarded for his brutal invasion of Ukraine, which would have profound implications for global security.

Ukraine's invasion of Russia's Kursk region will soon enter its fourth week, with around 500 square miles of territory captured so far, according to the head of Kyiv's military.

Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Tuesday that around 100 settlements, including the town of Sudzha, were now under Ukraine's control.

In one of his evening addresses this week, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said troops were still expanding their territory in the region.

Here, we look at some key images from the start of the invasion into Kursk.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine will not forgive Russia "for a single destroyed Ukrainian life" as the country marks the Day of Remembrance of Defenders of Ukraine.

The holiday marks the 10th anniversary of the battle of Ilovaisk, where hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers were killed by Russian troops as they began to withdraw from the encircled town.

"This was a planned, cynical Russian crime that Ukraine will never forget and will not leave unpunished," Mr Zelenskyy wrote on his Telegram channel.

"Today, Ukraine honours the memory of all its defenders. All those who fought for our state, for Ukrainian independence and sacrificed the most precious thing – their lives.

"And we will not forgive Russia for a single destroyed Ukrainian life."

Ukraine was forced to disconnect several nuclear power units from the grid on Monday after Russia's widespread drone and missile attacks on the country.

Kyiv's mission to the International Atomic Energy Agency has said the attack was intended to paralyse the operation of the power generation facilities of Ukraine.

It added that the attacks posed a significant risk to the stable operation of nuclear facilities. 

As a result of the attack, three out of four power units of the Rivne nuclear power plant were disconnected from the grid, it said.

Another nuclear power plant, the South Ukrainian, was also forced to decrease its output "due to fluctuations in the national power grid".

New Journal Announcement: European Social Work Research

Policy Press and the  European Social Work Research Association  are pleased to announce an exciting new journal, launching in April 2023: European Social Work Research. 

Aims and Scope

ESWR seeks to advance scholarship and debate, connecting empirical research with theoretical understandings that may inform, and be informed by, social work. The journal particularly welcomes innovation in social work research, including the development and application of innovative research methods and theory. As a double anonymous peer-reviewed journal, it provides a forum for high-quality research that contributes to understanding and furthering all aspects of social work. Articles need not originate in Europe but must be relevant to contemporary European social work contexts and issues.

• All major social work practice areas , including (but not limited to): vulnerable children and families; mental health; addictions; disability; migrants, refugees, and immigrants; employment and unemployment; health care and hospital social work; criminal justice; and sustainable social development.
• Contemporary challenges facing social work  and the communities it serves, among them: poverty; social exclusion; discrimination and oppression; inequalities, injustice and relationships of power; abuse, trauma, violence and conflict; cultural, political and environmental hazards.
• Developing and strengthening effective social work  practices, organisations, programmes, policies or movements for achieving positive change and empowerment.

The journal values innovation and diversity, and so embraces research that uses a wide range of methodological approaches and is informed by a wide range of theoretical and conceptual frameworks. Scholarly articles may be literature-based, conceptual or based on empirical research. They may use quantitative, qualitative or mixed empirical methodologies. Innovative methods and high-quality participative and practice research that engages with service users, carers and communities, are encouraged. ESWR also welcomes a variety of perspectives, such as psychological, philosophical, sociological, political, legal, ethical or related to human growth and development, whilst showing clear relevance to practice, management, regulation, policy, research, education or training in social work.

In addition to traditional research articles and book reviews, ESWR features a Research, Policy and Practice Exchange section for shorter contributions. This section is intended to provide a critically discursive space to provoke dialogue and debate, promote innovation and new initiatives, and to stimulate further contributions to the journal and to the European social work field. These may include:

• Think pieces or discussion pieces that may be grounded on empirical research, or literature, or on particular developments/events, but focus on highlighting the issues, challenges or innovations that emerge from them.
