Lena Dominelli is President of the International Association of Schools of Social Work and Director of the Centre for International Social and Community Development, The University of Southampton, UK. Wanda Thomas Bernard is Director of the Maritime School of Social Work, Dalhousie University, Canada.’In this globalized age, departments of social work are seeking to establish international exchanges yet there is little in the literature providing descriptive analyses of how these exchanges actually work out in practice. Broadening Horizons not only takes readers through the details of the process, but uniquely paves the way to non-exploitative relationships so vital to anti-oppressive practice. This informative book thus should be read by program directors and students alike to learn of the link between values and policies internationally...’ Professor Katherine van Wormer, University of Northern Iowa, USA ’...an important publication for social work...’ Community Care ’This book should be essential reading for all those involved in international partnerships and exchanges, as well as those questioning the relevance of introducing international opportunities to social work education. It is refreshing to hear the voices of students and practice teachers, as well as academics, reflecting on the challenges and professional development to be derived from experience outside one’s home country, and beyond familiar university and social work systems.’ Professor Karen Lyons, University of East London, England ’...has value to all programmes considering international exchanges.’ Social Policy
