Digital transformations in social work practice
Social work students are often considered digital natives, yet they do not control the digitalisation processes shaping their lives. Their trajectories, social networks, and well-being are strongly influenced by the digital environment, which will also affect their professional practice. This raises a central question: are academic programmes preparing them to critically and ethically use digital tools in future interventions that promote the wel…
The more you know, the less you fear
In this article, we present the results of a strategy to disseminate best social work practices during periods of social lockdown in Spain, in a climate characterised by post-truth, misinformation and fake news. Social work is challenged with the task of delivering reliable and quality information aimed at building a better society. At the time of writing, Spain was one of the countries most affected by COVID-19, with one of the highest numbers o…
Sociocybernetics and action research
Participatory action research (PAR) has been used as a methodology for social intervention that combines research enquiry and action in the analysis of and intervention in complex social problems.

This article proposes a PAR model using conceptual an…

The concept of sociocybernetics has been shaped over the past 40 years at the intersection between first- and second-order cybernetics, constructive epistemology and systems science. This has produced a common language to bridge these different disciplines and a common basis for research analysing complex social problems. Sociocybernetics applies second-order cybernetics concepts to the study of societies, communities and groups in which first- a…
