ABSTRACT Chilean Social Work has its origins and has developed facing crises. The first chool founded in 1925—worked directly with infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and syphilis, exposing their causes: overcrowding, poor housing conditions, poverty and exploitation of working classes. The Pinochet’s dictatorship and related political crises during the last decades have also impacted the development of social work . Recently, gross inequalities and further discontent about the neoliberal Chilean model broke out last year when mass civil protests took over the country. A new crisis emerged with the arrival of COVID 19 exposing poverty, inequality, oppression, and dispossession accumulated during the decades, just as in the inception of the profession. In this paper, we discuss two initiatives promoted by the Department of Social Work at the University of Chile which propose to address professional training in the context of political and sanitary crises. The first initiative ‘Transdisciplinary Nucleus of Social Work’ integrates research and intervention seeking to impact public discussions, creating integrated spaces of professional and academic training of undergraduate and graduate social work students. The second initiative ‘Social Work Researchers Network—Online Training’ provides students and social workers with free access to social work courses donated by the network’s members.

危机中的危机：Covid-19 和智利的两项创新提案

摘要智利社会工作有其起源，并在危机中发展。1925 年成立的第一所学校——直接与结核病和梅毒等传染病合作，揭露其原因：过度拥挤、住房条件差、贫困和工人阶级的剥削。过去几十年皮诺切特的独裁统治和相关的政治危机也影响了社会工作的发展。最近，去年大规模的民间抗议席卷该国时，严重的不平等和对新自由主义智利模式的进一步不满爆发了。随着 COVID 19 的到来，一场新的危机出现了，这暴露了数十年来积累的贫困、不平等、压迫和剥夺，就像该行业诞生之初一样。在本文中，我们讨论了智利大学社会工作系提出的两项倡议，旨在解决政治和卫生危机背景下的专业培训。第一个倡议“社会工作的跨学科核心”整合了旨在影响公众讨论的研究和干预，为社会工作本科生和研究生创造了专业和学术培训的综合空间。第二个倡议“社会工作研究人员网络——在线培训”为学生和社会工作者提供免费访问网络成员捐赠的社会工作课程的机会。第一个倡议“社会工作的跨学科核心”整合了旨在影响公众讨论的研究和干预，为社会工作本科生和研究生创造了专业和学术培训的综合空间。第二个倡议“社会工作研究人员网络——在线培训”为学生和社会工作者提供免费访问网络成员捐赠的社会工作课程的机会。第一个倡议“社会工作的跨学科核心”整合了旨在影响公众讨论的研究和干预，为社会工作本科生和研究生创造了专业和学术培训的综合空间。第二个倡议“社会工作研究人员网络——在线培训”为学生和社会工作者提供免费访问网络成员捐赠的社会工作课程的机会。
