The China Journal of Social Work has honored work by an international team of scholars with the 2020 Best Article award for their study on the rebirth of social work in mainland China. The international team includes scholars from Saint Louis University, Peking University, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and Washington University’s Center for Social Development.
In a world where large political and economic forces can pull people apart, this example of academic and policy collaboration is a small yet meaningful contribution to pulling people together.
