Notes

1. This Mapping Section of TSR builds on the rich debate produced within a roundtable on Social Work Transnationalism at MIM, Malmö University, in November 2014. The roundtable, convened by Erica Righard (Malmö University), Paolo Boccagni (University of Trento), and Claudio Bolzman (University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland), was part of the initiatives of the International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in Europe (IMISCOE) Research Group “International Migration and Social Protection” (IMaSP). It was made possible by seedfunding from IMISCOE and from the Crafoord Foundation. We are grateful to the following colleagues, for their active involvement in that seminar: Pat Cox (University of Central Lancashire), María Teresa Gijón Sánchez (Malaga University), Sven Hessle (Stockholm University), Karen Lyons (London Metropolitan University), Norma Montesino (Lund University), Kathleen Valtonen (University of Helsinki). We also acknowledge the very helpful student assistance of Mitra M. Sharani and Ricardo Ortega (both from Malmö University).
