Vulnerability has traditionally been conceived as a dichotomised
status, where an individual by reason of a personal characteristic
is classified as vulnerable or not. However, vulnerability is not
static, and most, if not all, people are vulnerable at some time in
their lives. Similarly, marginality is a social construct linked to
power and control. Marginalised populations are relegated to the
perimeters of power by legal and political structures and limited
access to resources. Neither are fixed or essential categories.
This book draws on international research and scholarship related
to these constructs, exploring vulnerability and marginality as
they intersect with power and privilege. This exploration is
undertaken through the lenses of intimacy and sexuality to consider
vulnerability and marginality in the most personal of ways. This
includes examining these concepts in relation to a range of
professions, including social work, psychology, nursing, and allied
health. A strong emphasis on the fluidity and complexity of
vulnerability and marginality across cultures and at different
times makes this a unique contribution to scholarship in this
field. This is essential reading for students and researchers
involved with social work, social policy, sociology, and gender and
sexuality studies.
