Social exclusion attempts to make sense out of multiple
deprivations and inequities experienced by people and areas, and
the reinforcing effects of reduced participation, consumption,
mobility, access, integration, influence and recognition. This book
works from a multidisciplinary approach across health, welfare, and
education, linking practice and research in order to improve our
understanding of the processes that foster exclusion and how to
prevent it.
Theorising Social Exclusion first reviews and reflects upon
existing thinking, literature and research into social exclusion
and social connectedness, outlining an integrated theory of social
exclusion across dimensions of social action and along pathways of
social processes. A series of commissioned chapters then develop
and illustrate the theory by addressing the machinery of social
exclusion and connectedness, the pathways towards exclusion and,
finally, experiences of exclusion and connection.
This innovative book takes a truly multidisciplinary approach
and focuses on the often-neglected cultural and social aspects of
exclusion. It will be of interest to academics in fields of public
health, health promotion, social work, community development,
disability studies, occupational therapy, policy, sociology,
politics, and environment.
