Academics from Queen’s University Belfast appointed co-editors of leading social work journal
Professor John Pinkerton and Dr Jim Campbell are based in the School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work at Queen’s. They are the first Northern Ireland academics to hold the prestigious positions of co-editors. The British Journal of Social Work covers every aspect of social work, with papers reporting research, discussing practice, and examining principles and theories. Professor Pinkerton says, 'The British Journal of Social Work is ideally positioned to connect the world of British social work research and practice to the increasingly global profession that is social work today. The journal already has an impressive international reputation and to see that further strengthened is one of the major goals of our term of office.' Dr Campbell says, 'We are looking forward to working with the British Journal of Social Work’s Editorial Board to expand and develop its network of academic and practitioner contributors and readers. With the support of the Oxford University Press team we are confident we can ensure the Journal continues to provide the highest standards of contemporary publishing, making full use of the constant developments in information technology.' Professor Mike Tomlinson, Head of the School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work at Queen’s University Belfast commented, 'These are significant appointments, which reflect the international standing of Professor Pinkerton and Dr Campbell, and the innovative work being undertaken at the School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work. These appointments are testament to the increasing impact the School is having nationally and internationally and its growing reputation as a centre of excellence in social work research and education.'
