Welcome to International Social Work: Contemporary Debates and Practices, at Dalarna University

The course introduces the students to key concepts and current theoretical debates in the field of international social work which then can be applied to case examples in different parts of the world. A primary focus is on international social work practices and ethical challenges, but the course also addresses policies and global dimensions in domestic social work.

During the course you will broaden your perspective on social work, strengthen your critical thinking skills and conduct an in-depth study of a case of international social work! 

Many course materials will be available in the "Modules" tab. After the course introduction on 20 January 20, when we go through the course room and important content, all participating students will get a compendium that includes some additional key texts in the course that are not included in the course literature list. The course literature is easy to find and download from the university library databases.
