The involvement of social workers in disaster management has been gaining increasing attention in recent years.

Between a “ball and chain” and a “half-full glass”: Work–family balance experiences of fathers to children with disabilities

We Taught You How to Teach Us’: An Autoethnography of Decolonising of Social Work Education in a Programme for Bedouin-Arab Social Workers in Israel
The need to decolonise social work education has become prominent in curricula developed over the past years.

It is therefore necessary to change it and adopt pedagogical approaches more suitable for populations from different cultures. This article presents a study on a dedicated training programme for Bedouin-Arab social wo…
