Summary/Abstract: Katherine Anne Kendall’s scholarly contributions played a pivotal role in reshaping the theoretical foundations and practical dimensions of social work education in alignment with international standards. Her pioneering efforts laid a strong foundation for the institutionalization of social work as a profession and academic discipline through a systematic and practiceoriented educational framework. The international standards that define contemporary social work education and guide academic programs across many countries are, to a significant extent, rooted in Kendall’s visionary work. This article explores Kendall’s life and her substantial theoretical and structural contributions to social work education, aiming to serve as a resource for future scholarly inquiries into both her legacy and the historical development of social work education.
