Global Social Welfare: Research, Policy Practice Special Call for COVID Research<\/a>
\nDeadline: Ongoing <\/strong>
\nGlobal Social Welfare is inviting authors to contribute research articles sharing experiences and results (both positive and negative) with our readers who can use this information to inform the development and implementation of future social work, social policy and public health programs.<\/p>\n

The database for BIPOC-Authored Social Work Papers<\/a>
\nDeadline: Ongoing<\/strong>
\nThe BIPOC-Authored Papers for Social Work database was created in an effort to amplify BIPOC voices and perspectives, and to increase the representation of BIPOC authors across social work curriculum. As faculty engage in critical analysis of their syllabi and curricula, the availability of BIPOC-authored materials is an essential element of dismantling the white supremacy embedded in social work and transforming social work education and practice. As a crowd-sourced database, this collaborative endeavor has the potential to elevate academic excellence and enhance a diverse, inclusive, values-based learning environment.<\/p>\n

Call for Papers Related to COVID-19
\nDeadline: Rolling Submission<\/strong>
\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing health disparities experienced by traditionally oppressed groups including older adults, low-wage workers and those living in poverty, and people with underlying health conditions. Public policies and practices that intentionally or unintentionally favor positive outcomes for certain groups over others violate human rights and must be rectified. As a result, rather than a one-time special issue of the journal, we invite authors to contribute relevant articles on a rolling basis for peer review.<\/p>\n
