Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I invite you to submit abstracts for consideration in this Special Issue of Societies, which will explore how religious-based entities engage in the provision of social welfare services. For many years, religious-based entities have been involved in the care of people in their communities, with various approaches and methods of engaging with people and providing care. This issue seeks to further the exploration of how social services are or are not part of the cadre of services and supports available in various communities. Research articles (particularly community-engaged research), case studies and conceptual papers will be considered.
The tentative completion schedule is as follows:
Abstract submission deadline: 29 August 2022
Full Submission Deadline: 29 March 2023
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Religions
