As we grapple with what it means to democratize and recenter social work science, we are confronted with important epistemological questions. We recognize this very notion challenges ways of knowing and being and that social work scholars are not univocal about what makes "good science" in this milieu. It is incumbent upon us to create a space that fosters civility such that the field can have productive conversations about the next 30 years of social work science. This symposium will probe important questions such as:

What is "science"?

Who gets to decide what matters in social work research?

How do we create space for disagreement within our own discipline?

Whose voice matters in social work science?

How do we organize around policy change given differential epistemological perspectives within the field?
