Celebrating 10 years of Critical and Radical Social Work
For ten years, Critical and Radical Social Work has promoted 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.
We have planned a number of themed and special issues for the tenth edition. Our first issue features articles from established and up and coming scholars that explore the challenges facing social work today. This issue is free to access throughout April.
