Critical and Radical Social Work

Critical and Radical Social Work (CRSW) promotes debate and scholarship around a range of engaged social work themes. The journal publishes papers that 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.

It welcomes contributions that question 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.
