Conference Background
The USC School of Social Work will host the Fourth Conference on International Social Work in Los Angeles, March 25-27, 2011. Since its beginning in 2007 when Boston College Graduate School of Social Work hosted the first conference, it has grown in size and stature reaching out to a growing number of social work colleges, schools, departments and organizations who are committed to integrating international social work not only into academic programs, but ultimately the profession. The 2011 conference will build on this tradition focusing on innovations in teaching, curriculum, research evidence, and exchange of social work skills and knowledge between nations and cultures.
