Abstract

This study explored and compared conceptualizations of social work research across Anglophone and Latin American countries. Open-ended survey responses ( n = 46) from participants in three Anglophone countries and three Latin American countries were analyzed. Three themes emerged: (1) social work research seeks solutions or actions; (2) social work research integrates an ecological approach; and (3) social work research is upheld by ethics and social justice. The themes highlighted unique contributions of social work research, with nuances between Latin American and Anglophone respondents. Implications include expanding the study to other countries and highlighting ethics and transformation in social work research.
