Abstract
With more than 234 thousand professionals in March 2024 throughout the national territory, Brazil is the second country in the world with the highest number of social workers, which represents a great challenge to expand and strengthen the ties of research and professional practice in the internal and external relations of the country. The internationalization of education is recognized as enhancing this update and appropriation of aspects that are inherent in global societal transformations. Engagement, the space for dialogue, the formation of collaborative networks and socialization in the search for solutions to global problems, through dialogue with professionals from different countries, is one of the possibilities for understanding the challenges of the present and designing the alignment of responses that meet the objectives proposed by the profession in its collectives and organizations, national and international. In this direction, this research aims to: a) identify the contributions and criticisms of national and international authors in the debate on the internationalization of education and b) characterize the collaborative networks of knowledge that are part of the history of Social Work as a profession. Based on this, we seek to thematize the presence of an internationalization process, which is critical, responsible and averse to the commodification of knowledge, in the transversality of the historical events of the profession, of which education has played a great role over the years and continuously until today, in the contemporaneity.
