This handbook initiates fresh debates on poverty and its impact in a constantly changing global south society. It studies the concept, theories and causes of poverty, as well as the design and delivery of social welfare policies related to specific groups, such as women, children, and the elderly. The chapters are theoretical, evidence-based, and empirical in nature and bring together a holistic understanding of social problems and issues in developing countries. The volume brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners from across the globe to develop a hands-on reference work that will be requisite for several social science disciplines concerned with poverty and the welfare of poor peoples. The first of its kind, the handbook will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of development studies, economics, social work, political studies, poverty studies, population and demographic studies, sociology, social anthropology, public policy, and political economy, especially those concerned with the Global South.
1) This is a comprehensive handbook on social work field education in the Global South. 2) It contains case studies from various countries of global south such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Botswana, Chile, and Barbados 3) This handbook will be of interest to departments of Social Work, social service, development studies, social anthropology, sociology, education, South Asian studies, and Global South studies across the world.
(1) This is a comprehensive handbook on field work education in social work. (2) It contains case studies from across geographical regions (Asia and the Pacific; North and South America; Australia and Oceania; Europe) and major themes and trends from several countries (USA; Canada; Australia; China; Hongkong; Sweden; Aotearoa New Zealand; England; Ukraine; Spain; Estonia; Italy; Ireland; Slovenia; Poland; Romania; Greece; Norway; Turkey; and Czech Republic) (3) It will be of interest to departments of social work, development studies, social anthropology, sociology and education.
This handbook addresses the issues and challenges of the delivery of social work education in the contemporary world. It provides an authoritative overview of the key debates, switching the lens away from a Western-centric focus to engage with a much broader audience in countries that are in the process of modernization and professionalization, alongside those where social work education is more developed. Chapters tackle major challenges with respect to curriculum, teaching, practice, and training in light of globalization, providing a thorough examination of the practice of social work in diverse contexts. This handbook presents a contribution to the process of knowledge exchange which is essential to global social work education. It brings together professional knowledge and lived experience, both universal and local, and aims to be an essential reference for social work educators, researchers, and students.
In May 2004, Dr. Sajid joined the Graz University of Technology, Austria as a doctoral researcher and started his research career within the domain of "Optical Wireless Communications." He completed his doctoral thesis in June 2007 and was awarded the PhD in Electrical Engineering with Excellence. His PhD thesis was well appreciated by fellow scientists in the optical wireless community and it is on their insistence that the doctoral thesis is now being published as a book in 2010. The research within this thesis revolves around the modem design techniques for Terrestrial Free Space Optical (FSO) systems and the channel modeling of these systems. The thesis investigates the challenging problems of fog attenuation analysis, coded modulation techniques and channel capacity evaluation. The thesis has led to further scientific work particularly in the domain of channel modelling and higher state PPM modulation techniques for utilization in Terrestrial FSO systems.
