The Contours of Filipino Social Work Praxis in the Canadian Diaspora Virtual Symposium


February 7 to 9, 2025

Since the 2017 formation of the Filipino-Canadian Social and Community Workers Network (FCSCWN), there has been a growing number of Filipino and Filipino-Canadian social work scholars entering into graduate studies as well as tenure-track faculty positions.


The Contours of Filipino Social Work Praxis in the Canadian Diaspora Virtual Symposium is the first academic conference for FCSCWN. It is also the first symposium organized by and for Filipino social work scholars and practitioners. We invite Filipino-Canadian scholars and practitioners in all stages of their careers (including undergraduate and graduate student scholars, community-based researchers, service providers, community organizers) to gather for critical kuwentuhan (storytelling) on the emerging field of Filipino-Canadian social work.
