Social Work Assistant Professor Awarded Frank Turner Prize
Carmen Luca Sugawara, an Assistant Professor at the Indiana University School of Social Work, has been awarded the Frank Turner Prize by the publishers of International Social Work.
The award was given for the article, "Civil society's role in promoting local development in countries in transition: A comparative study of the Philippines and Romania," published in 2006. Jocelyn Hermoso was co-author of the article.
Based on field visits and data from research, the article "compares and contrasts the experiences of the Philippines, where civil-society organizations are working to build the structures for more substantial democracy, and Romania, where civil-society organizations are faced with the challenges of rebuilding the country after reeling from the effects of totalitarian rule," the authors wrote.
The prize was created in honor Dr. Francis Turner, a longtime editor of the publication, following his retirement in 2004.
The publication reviewed all the articles published in 2006 and then selected the 'best' based on how the article reflected the scope of the journal "to explore and promote the development of international social work and also looked at scholarship, research, relevance and originality.
