NEWSLETTER July 2008
Dear colleagues and friends of the SOCIAL WORK & SOCIETY Network,
the New SW&S Journal is online: www.socwork.net!
We are very pleased to offer you from now on a double SW&S-Journal-structure: SW&S Regular and SW&S Special Issues. This issue contains furthermore a special feature: The Special SW&S Supplement on all Presidents of IASSW.
→ First SW&S Special Issue on “De- and Reterritorialization of the Social”
John Clarke (Open University/Milton Keynes) and Fabian Kessl (Bielefeld University) have edited the first SW&S Special Issue on De- and Reterritorialization of the Social. The first SW&S Special Issue is organized as a debate around Kevin Stensons (Middlesex University/London) considerations on a realist governmentality. John Clarke, Robert P. Fairbanks II (University of Chicago), Fabian Kessl & Nadia Kutscher (Catholic University of Applied Science, Aachen) and Wendy Larner (University of Bristol) comment on different aspects of Stenson’s argument, continuing his considerations at some points and arguing for a different conclusion at others. In his concluding comment, Kevin Stenson reacts to some of these recommendations and doubts.
→ Special SW&S Supplement: “Presidents of IASSW 1928-2008”
Social Work & Society celebrates the 80th anniversary of the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) with a SW&S-Special Supplement, edited by Friedrich Seibel (Ecce, Koblenz) containing portraits of all IASSW Presidents. SW&S is very proud to honour all these leading figures of IASSW and their impressive commitment to and lasting achievements in international Social Work Education and Practice.
→ SW&S Regular Issue, 2008 6(2)
Our new SW&S Regular Issue includes two exciting new papers on Educational and Anthropological Perspectives: An Italian View on Migration in Multi-cultural Urban Spaces by Patrizia Panarello (Messina) and on Citizenship Education – Between Social Inequality and the Promises of Modernity by Hans Dorf (København). Flora Gosh & Søren Juul (København) discuss the highly relevant question of refugee politics according to the Danish case in their essay Lower Benefits to the Refugees in Denmark: Missing Recognition?. Alireza Moula (Linkoping) reviews the new book of James Forte Human Behaviour and the Social Environment and Florian Sichling (Chicago) carries on in our SW&S Glossary with his essential considerations on the Community.
