Description
Social policy and human geography are closely related disciplines with much to offer one another, though they often remain fixed within their own separate silos of debate and policy activity. Human geography offers rich insight into the vast range of spaces and scales in which social policies take place, providing an understanding of what place is, how and why people and policy makers think about difference spaces and how to analyse the multi-faceted spatialities of policy. Bringing together experts from both fields, this book provides the multi-layered conceptual, scalar, thematic and methodological bridges needed to connect these currently divided, but intimately related fields.
Author Biography
Adam Whitworth is Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Sheffield.
Reviews"This book is to be greatly welcomed. Social policy analysis has tended to neglect - certainly to downplay - the significance of the spatial dimension, and this volume makes an admirable contribution towards correcting this imbalance." Nick Ellison, University of York
