The place of 'place' in theories of poverty
This article argues that theories about the spatial distribution of poverty since World War II have always combined analyses of the impact of the built environment, of culture and of mobility of populations.

The author argues that a new version may be emerging, reflecting ideas f…
Social Work, Merit and Ethnic Diversity
This paper concentrates on the issues of merit and diversity in social work. The principal focus is ethnic diversity, used as an example to illustrate a wider point about diversity.

Several benefits have been identified and linked to the achievement of ethnic diversity in the workforce; ma…
Emancipatory Social Work? Opportunity or Oxymoron
This paper explores the extent to which social work can be said to have espoused a consistent and distinctive set of principles and values, particularly against the background of adaptation to the changing ideological agendas of government over the past 25 years.
