 We are pleased to announce the School of Social Work’s 6th Annual Research Day!
The School promotes research activities that address contemporary social issues and enrich the knowledge base for social workers to develop policy and practice. The theme for this year’s Research Day is the one adopted by the CASW for this year: “Social Workers: Building Relationships, Strengthening Communities and Partnering for Change”. We invite paper presentations which will enrich the knowledge base of social work practice, teaching, and research. We look forward to the experiences and energy that you will bring to the School, and to papers that stimulate critical thinking on the structural approach to social work.

Graduate students, field supervisors, faculty (including adjunct professors and sessional instructors) and alumni are encouraged to submit abstracts. Undergraduate students who are completing their Honour’s Essays will also be considered.

 If you are interested in presenting at this Research Day, please send an abstract of 250 – 350 words to Karen Schwartz  and to Hugh Armstrong .
The deadline for submissions is 4:30 on Monday, March 5, 2012. The abstracts will be peer reviewed and you will receive word from the Research Day Committee by Monday, March 12, 2012 regarding whether your submission has been accepted.

Presenting at and participating in this Research Day is free.
Refreshments will be provided.

They offer excellent programs for students and faculty members of Social Work, and related fields, interested in personal development and gaining practical hands-on experience by way of volunteering abroad.

The From Stilettos to Moccasins research project hired 13 provincial/territorial ambassadors to help advertise, circulate and assist others with facilitating a healing journey workshop. From Stilettos to Moccasins: A Guide for Group Discussion©, is a free, easy to deliver health intervention workshop that accompanies the music video From Stilettos to Moccasins. The workshop is an outcome of a community-based research project undertaken by the National Native Addictions Partnership Foundation, the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, and the University of Saskatchewan. The step-by-step workshop raises awareness about the role that identity and stigma have in the healing journeys of criminalized First Nations, Métis and Inuit women in treatment for drug abuse and offers hope to individuals on their healing journeys.
