Sustaining and developing social work knowledge and skills in a changing world
As we prepare this issue at the start of 2026, we are constantly reminded of the rapidly changing global context in which we are writing this Editorial. At present, that context is heavy with confl
Slow memory research and mental illness
Memories act as aids to assemble the chronology of the past, and to reveal the influences of the past on the present. While cognitive recall is a form of memory, memory also exists in other domains including the body, the social and cultural spheres. This article addresses the importance of slow memory research with mental health service users. The silencing of people with mental illness, including in research spheres, compromises the recording o…
The importance of social work in a challenging world
The mental health needs of social work students
It is important to consider the mental health of social work students to promote their wellbeing and to ensure they are prepared for the potential stressors of practice. This cross-sectional survey of social work students (n = 240), the first of its kind on the island of Ireland, provides findings on mental health and a range of associated issues which can help to improve student welfare; the content of social work courses; social work practice; …

The lived experience of poverty in Ireland
This article reports on a poverty awareness project which was conducted by participants and staff based in an organisation for women affected by addiction and poverty. Through the application of material ethnography methods, this initiative led to the creation of a set of artefacts which culminated in the exhibition titled, Object Poverty. This article traces the history of this initiative and its effectiveness in building poverty awareness withi…

Youth Migration and the Politics of Wellbeing. Stories of Life in Transition, Elaine Chase and Jennifer Allsopp
Elaine Chase and Jennifer Allsopp’s book on youth migration was published prior to the start of the conflict currently raging in Eastern Europe, but its relevance to the events which have unfolded there, particularly in terms of the population movements we are witnessing, is immediately obvious. This book opens a window into the lived experiences of migrants in general, and in particular, the lives of young people who migrate alone. The impact on…
The Role of Social Work Education in Relation to Empathy and Self-Reported Resilience
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of people’s lives worldwide, including the work of social workers and the education of social work students. Field placements are a significant part of social work education, but during the pandemic they were cut short and most teachings moved online. The current mixed methods study examined the effects of social work education on social work students’ empathy and resilience during the COVID-19 pande…

Connection and hope in a post-pandemic world
Social work students on the island of Ireland
Understanding the characteristics, motivations, and experiences of student social workers is important to inform their professional education and support needs. To date, there has been relatively little research about social work students in Ireland, both North and South. This study reports on an all-Ireland survey of students beginning their social work course in Autumn 2018 in the six Universities delivering social work education. It describes …
Superdiversity re-imagined
Superdiversity, as a concept, has assisted researchers to reveal heretofore hidden phenomena in society and to illuminate the nuanced subjectivity of migrant flows and the multidimensionality of migratory experiences. This article argues that the core tenets of superdiversity theory can help address epistemological questions in relation to issues beyond the parameters of migration studies. The topic of mental illness is used as an example through…
Exploring resilience and mental health in services users and practitioners in Ireland and Canada
Social work practitioners face significant challenges in their professional lives when advocating for marginalised and disadvantaged people who face deep structural inequalities, lack of resources and inaccessibility to social and health care services. Many service users are long-suffering, dispirited, and demoralised without hope for a better future. This is particularly the case in community based mental health services where social workers pro…
Keyworking in residential child care
Taking Care
Prompted by the introduction of statutory social work registration into the Republic of Ireland, the authors consider the assumptions that attach to regulation, including the promise of greater public protection vis-à-vis the management of misconduct issues by social work regulators. They ponder the paradoxical implications for the future of social work if, notwithstanding the arguments in favour of registration, social work fails to theorise and…
Mental health social work in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
Drawing on their experience of mental health social work in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the authors examine the impact of current legislative and policy change in both jurisdictions. The paper applies Lorenz's theoretical framework to develop a comparative analysis of how global and country specific variables have interacted in shaping mental health social work. The analysis identifies linkages between factors and indicates simi…
