The Society for Social Work and Research with Pre-Conference Institutes Sponsored by: The Institute for the Advancement of Social Work Research is pleased to announce that its Fourteenth Annual Conference will convene at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Embarcadero Center in San Francisco, CA on January 14 – 17, 2010.
The theme for the 2010 conference is “Social Work Research: A World of Possibilities” In this increasingly interdependent world, the research conducted by members of SSWR now serves as international models. This annual conference provides researchers interested in a wide range of biopsychosocial problems and issues with an opportunity to impact globally on policy and services related to poverty, child welfare, health, mental health, addictions, aging, criminal justice, and many other topics. As detailed in the cluster areas below, submissions that include a focus across all areas of social work research from epidemiology, translational, and dissemination research are strongly encouraged. Submissions for presentations may include individual paper and poster presentations, organized paper symposia, round-table discussions, and workshops.
