Beyond Borders: Advances in Global Welfare, a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal focused on advancing research, policy, and practice related to social welfare issues across national and regional boundaries, was created by Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW) Associate Professor Margaret Lombe, with Lyndsey McMahan, assistant dean of Teaching & Innovation as its managing editor. Published biannually, it is an open-access journal for social work practitioners, scholars, and educators that showcases real-world impact and strengthens approaches to social welfare worldwide.

The journal focuses on six broad areas including: 

    • Global Social Welfare Policy 
    • Global Equity & Wellbeing: Innovative Responses and Practice Models 
    • Human Rights and Social Justice 
    • Cultural Responsiveness and Anti-Oppressive Practice 
    • Sustainable Development and Environmental Justice 
    • Multidisciplinary/Interdisciplinary Approaches
