The Center for International Social Work Studies
The Center for International Social Work Studies (CISWS) was established in 1992 to promote knowledge building and professional competence in international social work and human rights. While broadly focused on international knowledge related to social work and social development, the Center emphasizes the application of a global and human rights perspective to social workers’ practice in their own communities and internationally.
