The main focus of the journal is to share scientific knowledge in the field of Social Work and in areas related to Social Sciences, which have different approaches aimed at discussing citizenship, rights and human-social emancipation. This editorial axis is justified by the assumption that knowledge and coping with contemporary social challenges cannot be fragments or exclusive to an area, but based on the dialogue between the various disciplines of knowledge, in an interdisciplinary perspective. Emancipação is published by the Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa - Brazil, under the responsibility of the Department of Social Work and the Graduate Program in Applied Social Sciences.
