Established in 2015, CSWIR fosters a vibrant community of scholars, practitioners, students, and people with lived experience, all dedicated to pushing the boundaries of social work research and creating tangible social impact. We champion a multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary approach to innovative social work research and practice, pioneering new understandings of social problems to strengthen social relationships and design effective solutions shaped by people with lived experience. CSWIR provides a platform for changeby not only strengthening social work but redefining its potential to create a more just and equitable society.
