Examines multicultural social issues as they relate to social work policy, research, theory, and practice. Formerly the Journal of Multicultural Social Work, this quarterly journal has been renamed to reflect its greater emphasis on culturally diverse populations. The target audience includes researchers, educators, practitioners, and policymakers in the disciplines of social work or welfare, sociology, psychology, anthropology, psychiatry, education, health sciences, international relations, politics, and criminal justice. The journal contains articles that investigate the impact of culture, ethnicity, and social status on the delivery of human and health services to individuals, groups, and communities. The journal’s coverage offers a multicultural and international perspective on topics in social services delivery, health and mental health services, education, economic development and employment, social justice, and family services. The journal also presents the latest empirical research on ethnically diverse populations as well as theoretical articles that offer models particularly relevant to multicultural populations. Regular features include books reviews and a commentary section that invites readers’ responses, identifies trends and controversies, addresses needs for new programs and research, and contains suggestions for obtaining project funding and grants.
