However, vulnerability is not static, and most, if not all, people are vulnerable at some time in their lives. Similarly, marginality is a social construct linked to power and control. Marginalised populations are relegated to the perimeters of power by legal and political structures and limited access to resources. Neither are fixed or essential categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book draws on international research and scholarship related to these constructs, exploring vulnerability and marginality as they intersect with power and privilege. This exploration is undertaken through the lenses of intimacy and sexuality to consider vulnerability and marginality in the most personal of ways. This includes examining these concepts in relation to a range of professions, including social work, psychology, nursing, and allied health. A strong emphasis on the fluidity and complexity of vulnerability and marginality across cultures and at different times makes this a unique contribution to scholarship in this field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is essential reading for students and researchers involved with social work, social policy, sociology, and gender and sexuality studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Henrickson,Christa Fouché\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472476190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472476197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Mark Henrickson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113573888255,"sku":"9781472476197","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d35a2aa8-3336-4d02-95cb-35225b414be6.jpg?v=1769615904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vulnerability-and-marginality-in-human-mark-henrickson-9781472476197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
