International social work students recently completed work in a first-of-its-kind intensive summer seminar focused on advanced research methods. The 11-day event was presented thanks to an ongoing partnership between Washington University in St. Louis and its McDonnell International Scholars Academy partner Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU). The workshop’s goal was to provide important tools for social work practitioners and researchers working in other countries, including China.

近期，来自世界各地的社会专业学生刚刚完成了以高级研究方法为主题的集训暑期班的学习，此次暑期班是首次举办。为期11天的暑期班的成功举办得益于圣路易斯华盛顿大学和其麦道学院合作伙伴西安交通大学的持久合作。暑期班的目标旨在为来自其他国家的包括中国在内的社会工作专业人士和科研人员提供开展工作的重要工具。

“The social work profession in China is still relatively new,” said Shenyang Guo, the Frank J. Bruno Distinguished Professor of Social Work Research at the Brown School. Guo is also assistant vice chancellor for international affairs-Greater China.

布朗学院社会工作研究专业杰出教授郭申阳指出，“在中国社会工作依然是较新的专业”。郭申阳同时还任圣路易斯华盛顿大学国际事务（大中华区）助理副校长。

“Over the past couple of decades, many new ideas have been implemented by social work practitioners there,” Guo said. “However, there still needs to be a sharper focus on research methods, particularly as they become ready to share what they’ve learned in the field.”

郭申阳指出，“在过去的几十年当中，中国的社会工作专业人士已开展了很多新的实践，但是依然需要重点关注研究方法，尤其是当他们能够分享他们在业界所学的知识的时候。”

More than 150 faculty members, graduate students and practitioners took part in the special advanced workshop, which began July 19 at XJTU’s campus in Xi’an, China. Students from six universities in the the United Kingdom and the U.S. — the Brown School among them — took part. The Brown School, in collaboration with XJTU, hosted the event.

150多名教师、研究生和专业人士参加了这一特殊的高级暑期班，暑期班于7月19日在中国西安交通大学校区内开班。来自英国和美国，包括华大布朗学院，六所大学的学生参加了暑期班。布朗学院同西安交通大学共同举办这一暑期班。

Students learned from Washington University senior faculty, including Enola Proctor, the Shanti K. Khinduka Distinguished Professor at the Brown School, who presented sessions on implementation science; Carolyn Lesorogol, professor and associate dean for global strategy and programs, who taught qualitative research methods; and Guo, who focused on quantitative research methods. Linyun Fu, manager of global programs at the Brown School, led the Teaching Assistant team comprised of Washington University alumni Jiamin Chen and Qi Chen.

授课教师由华盛顿大学高级师资组成，包括布朗学院杰出教授伊诺拉•普洛柯特（Enola Proctor）, 讲授执行力；全球战略及项目副院长卡罗琳•勒索洛格（Carolyn Lesorogol）教授，讲授定性研究方法；郭申阳教授则集中讲授定量研究方法。布朗学院全球项目经理付琳赟则负责助教团队，包括华盛顿大学校友陈佳旻和陈奇。

“Some of the students told us this was the best workshop they’d ever had, and practitioners told us they were impressed by the amount of information we were able to impart in such a short time,” said Jin Peng, deputy director of XJTU’s Department of Sociology and a Washington University alumna.

“一些学生告诉我们这是他们参加过的最好的暑期班，专业人士则惊讶于我们的老师可以在如此短的时间内所传授的信息量，”西安交通大学社会学系副系主任、华盛顿大学校友彭谨说道。

The workshop was first discussed in October during “Washington University Day” held at XJTU. Guo said that the event served as a catalyst, which set the wheels in motion for the summer workshop, with support from Mary McKay, the Neidorff Family and Centene Corporation Dean of the Brown School, and Chancellor Emeritus Mark S. Wrighton. Wrighton, along with XJTU’s President Shuguo Wang, attended the workshop’s opening ceremony and gave remarks.

召开暑期班的想法首次于去年10月份在西安交通大学举办“华盛顿大学日”期间提出。郭申阳教授指出这一活动是此次暑期班顺利举办的催化剂，同时还得到了布朗学院玛丽•麦肯（Mary McKay）院长、前校长马克•莱顿（Mark Wrighton）和西安交通大学王树国校长的支持。他们也都参加了暑期班开幕式并致辞。
