Drawing on intersectional theorising, Homelessness and Social Work
highlights the diversities and complexities of homelessness and
social work research, policy and practice. It invites social work
students, practitioners, policy makers and academics to re-examine
the subject by exploring how homelessness and social work are
constituted through intersecting and unequal power relations. The
causes of homelessness are frequently associated with individualist
explanations, without examining the broader political and
intersecting social inequalities that shape how social problems
such as homelessness are constructed and responded to by social
workers. In reflecting on factors such as Indigeneity, race,
ethnicity, gender, class, age, sexuality, ability and other markers
of identity the author seeks to: * construct a new intersectional
framework for understanding social work and homelessness; * provide
a critical analysis of social work responses to homelessness; *
challenge how homelessness is represented in social work research,
social policy and social work practice; and * incorporate the
stories of people experiencing homelessness. The book will be of
interest to undergraduate and higher research degree students in
the fields of intersectionality, homelessness, sociology, public
policy and social work.
