Abstract

This article explores the conditions under which international social work field placements may be effectively administered. The positive and negative potential of international placements is examined. A review of empirical and theoretical literature in the related fields of service learning and international volunteering reveals that role taking, reflection, intensity, support, and reciprocity are important priorities if placements are to be "transformative" in ways that lead to respect for diversity and a strong commitment to social justice.
