The PhD is designed to prepare social work scholars, educators and researchers to have an in-depth understanding of social justice and human rights and underlying structural issues; to be equipped to take leadership positions in universities, colleges, and government and non-government organizations; and to be able to contribute to the development of structural social work theory and practice. Many research projects are conducted in close co-operation with local social service agencies and with professional organizations and community-based organizations.
