Social work and transdisciplinarity: challenges in studying transnational migration, community and communication
Keywords:
social work, transdisciplinarity, transnational immigration and community.
Abstract
The aim of this article is to reflect on how a community is shaped in a context of transnational migration and the possibilities it may offer for analysing the social reality that is constructed between the place of origin and the destination. A transdisciplinary theoretical approach is used, including categories such as transnational sociocultural relations, communicative interaction and sense of community, in order to obtain research outcomes that can provide the basis for new forms of intervention. In this context, social work needs to be transdisciplinary so as to capture the complex reality deriving from international immigration in the context of globalization and advances in information and communications technology (ICT).Downloads
