Structural Social Work with Indigenous Peoples and Homelessness
Section 2: Structural Social Work
From: Critical Social Work Praxis
$2.10
This chapter argues that structural social work theory could be used to combat the issue of homelessness and specifically help homeless Indigenous people. The authors were part of a research team on the Poverty, Homelessness and Migration project (2010 to 2016) of the Centre for Research in Social Justice and Policy, through which they learned with and from Indigenous colleagues, students and participants about how to engage in anti-oppressive, decolonizing, community-based research. They present their approach and findings, based on their research and experiences.
