Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) 26th Annual Conference

Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) 26th Annual Conference is organized by Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) and will be held from Jan 12 - 16, 2022 at Marriott Marquis Washington, DC, Washington, Dist of Col, United States of America.

Theme:
The theme for the 2022 conference is “Social Work Science for Racial, Social, and Political Justice.” This theme recognizes the underlying value that has long driven our profession and the commitment to upholding this principle in the current setting. Social work is not a value neutral profession. It seeks to build a more socially just world than the one that we currently have. Eradicating racism, alleviating poverty and economic inequality, and fighting the COVID-19 pandemic require a continuous pursuit and advocacy of this strongly embedded value that defines the profession.

Description:
The SSWR Annual Conference offers a scientific program that reflects a broad range of research interests, from workshops on the latest quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to symposia featuring studies in child welfare, aging, mental health, welfare reform, substance abuse, and HIV/AIDS. Over 500 symposia, workshop, roundtable, paper and poster presentations. Research methods workshops designed to enhance methods expertise and grant-writing skills and special sessions on research priorities and capacity building that target cutting-edge topics vital to contemporary social work research. Pre-conference programs and a networking reception especially for doctoral students.

Objectives:
The objectives of the conference are to:
• Recognize policy and program impacts of social work research at the local, state, national, and international levels by social work scholars;
• Advance social work as a discipline by reviewing the collective impact and potential for social work science; and
• Center racial equity and social justice in social work research, policy, and practice.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
