This handbook sets a new research agenda in community development.
The contributors redefine existing areas within the context of
interdisciplinary research, highlight emerging areas for community
development related research, and provide researchers and
post-graduate students with ideas and encouragement for future
research activity. To do this, the editors have deliberately chosen
to frame this book not through a traditional sociological lens of
class, race and gender, but through a "Wicked Problems" framework.
Drawing upon the work of 37 international authors, in diverse
settings such as West Papua, Peru, the USA and Australia; and with
methodologies equally as diverse, from case studies and interviews
to the use of music and story-telling, this handbook focuses upon
five Wicked Problems: forced displacement; family, gender and child
related violence; indigenous marginalisation; climate change and
food security; and human survival in the context of disaster and
recovery work. By drawing together leading scholars from community
development, social work and social policy, this handbook provides
an up to the minute snapshot of current scholarship as well as
signposting several fruitful avenues for future research. This book
is both an invaluable resource for both scholars and practitioners
and an indispensable teaching tool for use in the classroom and in
the field.
