Prof. Ben KU, Professor of APSS and Director of the China and Global Development Network (CGDN), has co-edited a new book titled Classic Readings and Cases of Action Research in China (行动研究经典读物及实践案例), together with Dr Ellen FOK (Guest Lecturer and Supervisor) and Mr Ricky FUNG (Project Associate), both from APSS.
As social work action research continues to gain momentum across China, receiving growing recognition from both academia and frontline practitioners, the scholarly discourse on this subject within the Chinese Mainland remains in its formative stage.
Addressing the pressing need for Chinese-language resources, this book provides an essential link between the classic foundations of action research and their localised applications in the Chinese context. It features seminal Western readings on social work action research alongside practical outcomes from projects conducted by university researchers and frontline social work practitioners across the Chinese Mainland.
A promotional feature about the book has been published on the publisher's WeChat public account: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/lmr9kvOhcida30oaQLyhIw
