Globalisation and social work education in the Republic of Ireland: Towards informed transnational social work for transnational problems such as COVID-19

Abstract

Critically informed commentary is employed to examine globalisation and social work education in the Republic of Ireland. This is extended in analysis by a tripartite conceptual framework. The emphasis is on preparing practitioners for transnational practice, in response to global social interdependencies and transnational social problems such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The concern is that social work education risks being outpaced by changes imposed through intensifying globalisation. The article is timely and opportune as advances towards universalism and global interconnectedness in social work are underway. To date, the need to promote better global awareness, within Irish social work curricula, remains.
