Research in the Social Work Department is integrated with our practice and teaching of social work. Many of our research projects are collaborations with local community partners and international researchers. The projects analyse trends on issues of societal concern, and evaluate policies, programs and services for populations in need. Research also provides hands-on learning to students who are engaged in the projects.<\/p>\n

Our staff are involved in a variety of research projects. Students interested in a specific area or research interest can refer to the following list and contact the respective professors for more information.<\/p>\n
