Research at the Department of Social Work

At the department of social work, a number of research projects are conducted with a close connection to the practice of social work and which touch on social issues, their causes and consequences at the individual, group, and societal level. We have several junior and senior researchers with different theoretical and methodological orientations. Their research projects touch on topics within the core areas of social work such as vulnerability in children and families, various forms of violence, mental illness, elderly and care, conversations in social work, the work of social services, disabilities, and legal processes.
