Qualitative Social Work: Research and Practice

Qualitative Social Work: Research and Practice

http://qsw.sagepub.com/

Publisher: SAGE Publications

Qualitative Social Work provides a forum for those interested in qualitative
research and evaluation and in qualitative approaches to practice. The
journal facilitates interactive dialogue and integration between those
interested in qualitative research and methodology and those involved in the
world of practice. It reflects the fact that these worlds are increasingly
international and interdisciplinary in nature. The journal is a forum for
rigorous dialogue that promotes qualitatively informed professional practice
and inquiry.

In addition to articles on qualitative research, evaluation and practice,
the journal promotes exchange and conversation on:

* The role of critical perspectives within social work

* The nature of reflective inquiry and practice

* Emerging applications of critical realism in social work

* The potential of social constructionist and narrative approaches to
research and practice.

The basic assumptions of all forms of research and of practice are being
challenged. We invite journal contributors to engage with that challenge and
to do so in the primary contexts of social work and the evaluation of
practice. Practitioners and those articulating international and
interdisciplinary perspectives are particularly encouraged to submit
articles and commentary.
