Details

The main goal is to conduct a scoping literature review about social work education and practice in Burkina Faso and indigenous social work in Canada as a new phase of the International Social Work project . Students will also contribute to narrative interviews transcription as supplementary information for the literature review. The literature review on Indigenous social work in Canada will be articulated to the context of International Social Work and to Indigenous Beading work as a practice. As outcomes the project will provide the stand of existing content and facilitate the development of themes and frameworks that will inform curricula, research and practices in the field of International Social Work education and practice.

Deliverables

Two students are required for this project and they will conduct a scoping literature, transcribe two narrative interviews, and write a report of the results that will support the next steps to achieve the project goal.

  • introducing the students to keys for the literature review search and list of journals to facilitate access to data
  • providing subject matter content to international social work specific and indigenization in social work in general
  • mentoring the students five hours weekly

Education

Transformative, collaborative and supportive education: it’s at the heart of what we do. The same qualities are at the heart of what social workers do when they work with families, provide support and transform lives in the communities where they live and work. Students are prepared with the competencies and practice skills to assess and practice in a professional social work setting. Faculty members have a wide range of expertise in social work education, strong connections with the community, and active engagement in research and scholarly activities to advance social work education.
