A call for chapters has been issued for the forthcoming second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Postcolonial Social Work: Challenges and Counter Movements. We are especially pleased to note that one of the editors, Janestic Twikirize, is a Board Member of our partner organisation, the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW).
The handbook aims to reassess and expand postcolonial perspectives in social work, addressing global inequalities, shifting geopolitical realities, and the need for emancipatory and transformative approaches. The editors particularly welcome practice-based contributions, empirical studies, and examples of decolonial social work grounded in real-world contexts, alongside theoretical reflections.
Authors are invited to submit a chapter title, abstract of up to 250 words, and a short bio by 31 May 2026, with publication anticipated in summer 2027.
