We are calling for papers (for oral and poster presentations) that bring together novel solutions to development issues through social work and social development practices. All kinds of innovations will be considered, whether they are methodological, theoretical, social, technological, policy, practice-based, or organizational, and are of local relevance and/or have the potential for large-scale replication. Lessons learned from adopting and implementing evidence-based solutions, as well as how politics and questions of good governance, shape social development outcomes, are pertinent to this call. Learning across disciplines, forging partnerships for social change, and finding contextually appropriate solutions, as well as critiques of current solutions, are welcome.
Interested presenters will be invited to submit their full paper for peer-reviewed publication consideration in the following journals/book series:
Interested individuals may submit proposals for a 90-minute workshop or a panel discussion (maximum of four panelists on a theme, excluding the chair, with each panelist given 10 minutes to speak). The panel discussion and workshop topics should be related to the conference's theme (or sub-themes). Proposals should be submitted to the conference secretariate (email: icsd2025@rajagiri.edu) on or before 15th July 2024 (IST).
Panel proposals should include the information listed below. Please email the following information in a single file to the Panel Chair (contact information below).
