Student Essay Competition
We are pleased to announce the return of our student essay competition. The views, knowledge and experiences of our global social work student population is of huge importance to us and will hopefully encourage students to consider publishing in our journal and other social work titles as they progress in their studies and careers.
What we are looking for
We are inviting submissions of 2000-2500 words in length, from students on qualifying social work programmes. These may be amended essays that have been submitted as course work or newly written pieces for this competition. The focus and style can vary enormously, and may include reflective pieces, critical literature reviews, empirical studies and practice learning related contributions. What is crucial is that they are rooted in your social work studies, are well referenced, and have at their heart an ethical dilemma which you have encountered. Such dilemmas may be based in practice or of a more theoretical nature.
You must start your submission with a short paragraph briefly explaining the ethical dilemma under consideration. You must show you understand what an ethical dilemma is, i.e. the choice between two courses of action, neither of which is wholly desirable. The rest of the essay should then explore that dilemma and we should see you think it through... can you come to a resolution?
