2nd International Conferense on Practice Research

CFP Practice Research in Social Work – Producing Robust Knowledge

May 30-31, 2012, Helsinki, Finland

There is a growing recognition that research in professional practice needs approaches that better reflect the character practice. This raises questions such as: How do we conduct research in practice? What are the interests driving knowledge creation? What are the strengths and limitations of current approaches to knowledge production?

The conference aims to explore different approaches to practice research, highlighting the everyday architecture of practice research, the iterative nature of knowledge production processes and the implications for professional knowledge of different theoretical assumptions underpinning practice.

Registration will soon open on the conference website. The early bird registration fee is 100 euros (registration by March 31st).

The program and more information is available at the conference website.
