Author Information

Vjollca Krasniqi is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Philosophy, Department of Social Work and the Faculty of Arts, University of Prishtina, Kosovo. She holds a PhD in Social Work from the University of Ljubljana; an MSc degree in Gender, Development, and Globalization from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE); and a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Sociology from the University of Prishtina. Her research interests are gender, human rights, nation-building, and social policy. She has led and participated in numerous international research projects and published widely on these topics. She is member of the Executive Board of the East European Sub-Regional Association of Schools of Social Work. She has actively engaged on gender equality and dealing with the past issues in Kosovo and the wider Balkan region. She has served on the boards of directors of several civil society organizations in Kosovo.  Jane McPherson isAssociate Professor and Director of Global Engagement at the University of Georgia School of Social Work in Athens, Georgia, USA. Her scholarship examines social work through a human rights lens, and she applies human rights principles to research, teaching, and practice. Her measurable framework for human rights practice in social work and its accompanying scales have been widely translated for use around the world. Locally and globally, she promotes participatory, transparent, accountable, and anti-discriminatory social work practices—especially those that address the unequal distribution of wealth, health, political power, and community wellness. Prior to becoming a scholar, Dr. McPherson practiced social work for over 20 years, working in maternal-child health, child welfare, bereavement, and in the treatment of survivors of political torture.
