Format Descriptions
Special Interest Group Meetings, 60 minutes, live
The Society for Social Work and Research special interest groups (SIGs) facilitate networking opportunities for conference attendees to discuss in greater depth a specific social work research, policy or practice.
Abstract-based Workshops, 90 minutes, live
As per the call for papers (https://sswr.org/2021-conference-home/abstract-submissions/), workshop sessions should:
- offer training opportunities for methodology (study design, sampling, data collection, measurement, and analysis) and describe the pedagogical techniques,
- add to the current knowledge base in social work practice, policy, theory, and research methodology, and,
- offer clear meaningful implications for social work research, policy and practice.
Poster Forums, 60 minutes, live
The purpose of the poster forums is to provide an opportunity for conference registrants and poster presenters to discuss the poster presentations related to a specific cluster/topic. All accepted poster presenters submitted their poster presentations so that they could be displayed in the Poster Gallery on the virtual conference platform. Poster presentations are either a PDF presentation or a Power Point in which the presenter is describing their research verbally. 587 presentations are available on the Poster Gallery and are accessible to all conference registrants through December 31, 2021. There are 28 poster forums, one poster forum for each cluster. Cluster co-chairs will help facilitate the discussion during the 60 minute, live, Zoom meeting. See list of clusters here.
