Download or read book The Intimate Lives of Disabled People written by Kirsty Liddiard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite over thirty years of disability activism and scholarship, disabled people’s sexual identities remain the sum of the paradoxical social categories of 'asexual innocents', or 'perverts’. This timely book explores their experiences of sexual and intimate life within the context of both these constructed sexualities and the wider contemporary ableist cultures which both produce and promulgate them. Foregrounding disabled people’s own sexual stories collected through a participatory and multi-method empirical study, this book provides a richly detailed account of the complex and variegated relationships between sexuality, disability, gender and impairment. The ground-breaking findings to emerge from this study, which take centre stage in this book, not only shine a light on the oppressive darkness in which contemporary disabled sexualities are plunged, but equally both trouble and challenge our current understanding of sexual life as we know it.

Download or read book Social Work and Disability written by Peter Simcock and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Work and Disability offers a contemporary and critical exploration of social work practice with people with physical and sensory impairments, an area that has previously been marginalized within both practice and academic literature. It explores how social work practice can, and indeed does, contribute to the promotion of disabled people’s rights and the securing of positive outcomes in their lives. The book begins by exploring the ways in which disability is understood and how this informs policy and practice. Opening with a thought-provoking account of the lived experience of a disabled person using social work services, it goes on to critically analyse theory, policy and contemporary legislative change. Inequality, oppression and diversity are the focus of the second section of the book, while the remainder offers an in-depth exploration of the social work practice issues in disability settings, notably work with children, adults and safeguarding. Service-user and carer perspectives, case profiles, reflective activities and suggestions for further reading are included throughout. Social Work and Disability will be essential reading for social work students and practitioners. It will also be of interest to service users and carers, students on health and social care courses, third-sector practitioners and advocates.

Download or read book Children in South African Families written by Nene Ernest Khalema and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview of African children’s lives in times of transition, transformation, and change some twenty-two years after political emancipation in South Africa. With diverse family formations, non-marital childbearing, and diverse parenting situations prevalent in South Africa, the book covers both the conceptual and theoretical questions that explore the context of children’s experiences. It uses examples from a range of primary and secondary data sources to illustrate how resilience in children faced with adversity could be nurtured, demonstrating the links between theory and practice, and critically commenting on questions of epistemology by drawing on research with children within different African social and cultural contexts. While the volume affirms the complexities of explaining child adversity or privilege, it stresses the diversity of South African children’s experiences and the importance of adopting both children’s rights and Afro-centric perspectives to account for the commonality and diversity of childhood and children’s empowerment in diverse family systems. The contributions also provide recommendations on how to respond and intervene in children’s issues, from both practical and policy levels, in a dedicated manner to ensure that children are protected from harm, nurtured to succeed, and assisted during and after traumatic experiences. This volume represents a valuable resource for scholars and students in the fields of humanities, social science, development studies and public health, as well as policy makers, child practitioners, and child rights advocates.

Download or read book The Impact of Financial Incentives in Welfare Systems on Family Structure written by Bruce Stafford and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is much debate on whether financial incentives and disincentives in the welfare system affect union formation and childbearing. This report examines the evidence, focusing on studies from the last decade from English speaking countries which look at such measures as welfare benefits, tax credits, and employment programmes, and their impact on single parenthood, marriage, cohabitation, divorce, and childbearing rates. These include studies on the iintroduction of the Working Families Tax Credit in Great Britain; the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) in the United States; as well as some studies from Australia, including the Family Tax Benefit. The report concludes with the implications for welfare policy in Great Britain, and the methodological problems of researching welfare systems and family structure.
