Teaching International Social Work:  Looking Back to Move Forward

This event is open to all educators interested in the topic. Together we will explore ideas about how far we have come with international education and how we can continue to advance. The roundtable will begin with several brief interventions by resource persons to help spark our discussions. The topics of these interventions will include: Incorporating the United Nations into social work curriculum; implications of the upcoming Second World Social Summit; and how CSWE’s Katherine Kendall Institute for International Social Work Education can help. The emphasis, however, is on conversation among participants.  

Registration is SOLD OUT.
