• Call for submissions with a special focus on affirming and inclusive perspectives on sex, gender, and sexuality in social work

  2025-07-07

  In 2025 the journal will pilot a new approach by inviting articles with a special focus on some key topics. Rather than have a special issue on a single topic, some issues will publish articles associated with the special focus but remain open to other articles. In this way we highlight emerging themes and issues of concern without holding back the steady stream of scholarly work in different areas. The second call is highlighted below.

  Special Focus: Affirming and inclusive perspectives on sex, gender, and sexuality in social work
