  • Embodying place

    Open AccessGreer A Hamilton, Josh Lown et al.ARTICLEQualitative Social Work2026

    Social work scholars have called for greater attention to one’s social environment. Yet, there remains a dearth of literature that attends to built and social environments. This methodological paper describes embodied geographic methods as a promising answer to bridge the division between person and place in social work. Drawing upon embodiment and geographic methods, with particular attention to qualitative geographic information systems methods…

  • Using a Place-Based Harms Typology to Inform Community Practice and Research

    Open AccessJason Sawyer, Jason M Sawyer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Practice2026Cited by: 1References: 6

    Place-based harms comprise direct threats to community wellbeing within the spaces where people live.

  • Contested places

    Open AccessAmie Thurber, Amy Krings et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Work2024

    In response to historic and ongoing devaluation of certain people, and concurrently, the places they live, many communities are grappling with how to respond to place-based harms. This has produced a wide range of responses, such as calls for “Land Back,” reparations programs, arts-based neighborhood regeneration, and local history initiatives. This paper explores the potential roles community practitioners can play in these contested places. Dra…

  • What is Puppetry Doing in Community Practice

    Greer A HamiltonARTICLEPractice2024

    The pursuit of social justice must include art and creativity to challenge systems of oppression and imagine a new world. Arts-based approaches, specifically puppetry, can offer social work researchers and practitioners another way of exploring complex community issues. While puppetry has been used as a therapeutic intervention with children, puppetry also has roots in community-based education and organising efforts that social work can learn fr…
