Home-making at the margins
Reframes home-making as an ongoing process shaped by constraint and care. • Shows how people actively make home even where normative ideals are unsettled. • Develops a thematic framework linking marginality, care, time, and relationality. • Advances debate beyond home unmaking by foregrounding adaptive everyday practices. • Positions home-making as a lived, political process across diverse housing contexts. This paper examines the creative, conte…
Vulnerability in action
Protest has been a long-held concern of geographers who have examined the socio-spatial practices of activists and social movements. Yet, within this corpus of work, limited attention has been paid to the role and experience of the body among those involved in protest. Drawing on a study focusing on the experiences of disabled activists organizing in response to austerity in the UK, the paper examines the use of the individual body in activism an…
Debilitating landscapes of care and support
This paper explores the impact of policy changes and budget cuts on the service and support landscape faced by people with learning disabilities. Drawing upon collaborative research in England and Scotland and interviews with commissioners and support organisations we show how landscapes of care and support are unstable and fragmented. We identify how pressures of time, resource and precaritisation in the workforce are creating ‘debilitating land…
Personalisation policy in the lives of people with learning disabilities
Social care provision across high-income countries has been transformed over the last ten years by personalisation – a policy agenda to give people with eligible support needs more choice and control over their support. Yet the ideological underpinnings of this transformation remain highly mutable, particularly in the context of reduced welfare provision that has unfolded in many nations advancing personalisation. How the policy has manifested it…
Neoliberal abandonment in disability housing provision
Public or ‘social’ housing provision in many nations in the Global North is increasingly being driven by neoliberal strategies that include austerity cuts and market-led privatization. This context raises an important question of how likely the state’s reliance on the private sector can ensure that housing remains available and accessible to more disadvantaged low-income groups. To help answer this question, we draw on a comparative study of soci…
Caregiving
“Caregiving” is a complex and enduring term that denotes the physical, emotional, and psychological assistance that individuals, including family members and statutory and voluntary sector support workers, provide to people in need of support. Given the varied relationships involved across the spectrum of care, it has become an increasingly contested term, depending on the ideologies behind it, the manner in which it is given, and who receives it…
Self-building safe havens in a post-service landscape
With the increased commitment towards personalisation in adult social care, allied with more ‘austere’ funding of social services and day centre closures, support is increasingly becoming less placement-driven and woven into everyday spaces within the community. Consequently, support is being re-framed from ‘care’ in formal settings towards an effort at enabling meaningful lives in a post-service landscape nested in local neighbourhoods and ordin…
Placing care in times of austerity
There has been a flourishing of geographical studies of care and caring in recent times. Drawing on a range of new theoretical insights, and driven by questions of who and where in the provision of care, geographers have critically examined the spaces, relations, emotions and politics of caring in contemporary society (Milligan and Wiles, 2010). The evolution of this body of work has shown how the landscape of care is being continually transforme…
Voluntarism and the Voluntary Sector
Understanding voluntarism in an era of globalization, state restructuring, and demographic ageing has become a key research and policy challenge in the twenty‐first century. Across the world, and in countries of the Global North in particular, the voluntary sector has evolved into a source of welfare provisioning alongside the state, as well as a space of resistance at local, subnational, and international levels. Over the past four decades, the …

Landscapes of Care
Personalisation and Austerity in the Crosshairs
Personalisation has now become centre-stage in adult social care and continues to have an enduring level of political commitment and on-going appeal for many disabled people. And yet its roll-out has taken place during a time of austerity where central governments in many neo-liberal countries are re-imagining (read: shrinking) their role in social care provision. This paper reports on findings from an empirical study of relevant government offic…

Active Citizenship and Disability
This book provides an international comparative study of the implementation of disability rights law and policy focused on the emerging principles of self-determination and personalisation. It explores how these principles have been enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and how different jurisdictions have implemented them to enable meaningful engagement and participation by persons with disabilitie…
Spatial Perspectives on Voluntarism in Learning Disability Services in Ireland
Voluntarism has moved to the centre of most western neo-liberal governments' focus in terms of welfare delivery. At the same time, very little of the social policy literature has identified specific historical, cultural and political contexts of place in shaping the particular form of voluntarism and the scale at which it takes place in a country. In order to address policy-related issues of the voluntary sector, a geographical perspective focusi…
