The politics of participation: a critical occupational science analysis of social inclusion policy and entrenched disadvantage
thesis
posted on 2022-03-28, 14:21 authored by Robert Bernard Pereira"This thesis reports on two linked studies which focus on entrenched disadvantage from a personal and policy perspective. Entrenched disadvantage is characterised by poverty, disability and social exclusion. The first study provides a life history exploration of seven citizens living with entrenched disadvantage. Their stories are then contextualised through a second study which analyses Australian social inclusion policy discourse through a critical occupational science lens." -- Abstract.
