Social Work Research
Social work research is a practice-oriented research discipline that deals with aspects of both social development and social cohesion.
Based on theories of social work as well as the social sciences and humanities (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology), social work research aims to find answers to current social challenges and profession-related questions. To this end, numerous multidisciplinary research approaches are integrated, such as childhood and youth research, educational research, research on social and socio-political issues (e.g., enforcement of measures, intersectionality, bullying, etc.) or research on ethical/political issues of the profession and discipline of social work.
