Dr. Julie Altman was recently named an International Editorial Advisor to the British Journal of Social Work, published by Oxford University Press. As such, she is responsible for the Journal’s solicitation and review of manuscripts from U.S. based academics and social work professionals. This accomplishment is not to be underestimated as the British Journal of Social Work is one of the highest impact journals for our discipline. Altman also serves on other editorial boards, to include the journals of Child Welfare and the Journal of Teaching in Social Work.
