Annotation : «Social Work in Wartime Ukraine: Changing the Professional Landscape» (edited by Tetyana Semigina) offers a comprehensive and timely analysis of how social work theory, practice, and education in Ukraine are being reshaped by prolonged war. The book examines professionalisation processes, community resilience, responses to internal displacement, psychosocial and gender-sensitive interventions, and innovations in formal and non-formal social work education. Drawing on empirical research and practice-based insights, the chapters highlight the role of social workers, communities, and civil society in addressing multidimensional vulnerability, inequality, and crisis-related risks. The volume contributes to international debates on crisis-responsive and feminist social work, positioning the Ukrainian experience as both context-specific and globally relevant.
Keywords : social work; psychosocial support; wartime Ukraine; community resilience; internal displacement; gender-based violence; social work education; crisis response.
