Advocates' Forum
Advocates’ Forum is one of only a few student-run social work journals in the country. In 2005, AF celebrated its 10th anniversary. During this time, the journal has provided SSA students with an opportunity to express their scholarly interests, through carefully written and researched articles on innovative topics in the field of social service. Advocates’ Forum welcomes articles in all areas of social work, including clinical practice, administration, and current social welfare policy. Our goal this year is to continue the tradition of academic excellence that the journal has represented throughout the years. We hope this publication will serve to inform social workers in all areas of practice of the administrative and clinical interests of A.M. students, and we also intend for the journal to support SSA students in communicating effectively and participating in the valuable exchange among students and professionals in the field.
Editorial Policy
Advocates’ Forum is edited and published by students at The University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration (SSA). The purpose of the publication is to provide A.M. students with an opportunity to debate and discuss relevant issues in social work and share their scholarly interests with alumni, field instructors, social service agencies, and schools of social work nationwide.
The Editorial Board of Advocates’ Forum is composed of first-year, second-year, and part-time A.M. students. Submissions to the journal are solicited from A.M. students and are reviewed and selected by the Board. Our process is a blind peer-review guided by the following criteria: the quality of the writing, investigation, and research; creativity and originality; consistency with social work values and ethics; timeliness; and contribution to the field.
All final selections are edited with permission from the authors. Responsibility for the accuracy of information contained in written submissions rests solely with their authors. Views expressed within each article and do not necessarily reflect the views of the editorial board, the School of Social Service Administration, or the University of Chicago.
