The volume offers a detailed look into useful and effective ways to tackle precarious work to create and maintain sustainable livelihoods. This curated collection of 22 chapters considers the broader relationships between previous research work and issues of human security and sustainability that affect workers families communities and societies. Each chapter expands the present understandings of the world of precarious work and how it fits within broader issues of economic ecological and social sustainability. In addition to I/O psychologists in research practice service and study this book will also be useful for organizational researchers labor unions HR practitioners fair trade cooperative and civil society organizations social scientists human security analysts public health professionals economists and supporters of the UN SDGs including at the UN.

Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Conversations about rehabilitation and how to address the drugs-crime nexus have been dominated by academics and policymakers without due recognition of the experience and knowledge of practitioners. Not enough is known about the cultures and conditions in which rehabilitation occurs. Why is it that significant numbers of practitioners are leaving the alcohol and other drugs field while disproportionate numbers of criminal justice practitioners are on leave? Rehabilitation Work provides a unique insight into what happens behind the closed doors of prisons probation and parole offices drug rehabs and recovery support services drawing on research from Australia. This book is among the first to provide a dedicated empirical examination of the interface between the concurrent processes of desistance from crime and recovery from substance misuse and the implications for rehabilitation work. Hannah Graham uses practitioner interviews workforce data and researcher observations to reveal compelling differences between official accounts of rehabilitation work and what practitioners actually do in practice. Practitioners express a desire to be the change rather than being subject to change actively co-producing progressive reforms instead of passively coping with funding cutbacks and interagency politics. Applied examples of how practitioners collaborate lead and innovate in the midst of challenging work are complemented with evocative illustrations of insider humour and professional resilience. This book is a key resource for students academics and practitioners across fields including criminology and criminal justice social work psychology counselling and addiction treatment. | Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work From Tabernacle to Eucharist

The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work From Tabernacle to Eucharist

An important reconceptualisation is taking place in the way people express creativity work together and engage in labour; particularly suggests Kidwell a surprising resurgence in recent years of manual and craft work. Noting the wide array of outlets that now market hand-made goods and the array of popular books which advocate ‘making’ as a basis for activism or personal improvement this book seeks to understand how the micro-politics of craft work might offer insights for a broader theology of work. Why does it matter that we do work which is meaningful excellent and beautiful? Through a close reading of Christian scripture The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work examines the theology and ethics of work in light of original biblical exegesis. Kidwell presents a detailed exegetical study of temple construction accounts in the Hebrew bible and the New Testament. Illuminating a theological account of craft and employing the ancient vision of ‘good work’ which is preserved in these biblical texts Kidwell critically interrogates modern forms of industrial manufacture. This includes a variety of contemporary work problems particularly the instrumentalisation and exploitation of the non-human material world and the dehumanisation of workers. Primary themes taken up in the book include agency aesthetics sociality skill and the material culture of work culminating with the conclusion that the church (or ‘new temple’) is both the product and the site of moral work. Arguing that Christian worship provides a moral context for work this book also examines early Christian practices to suggest a theological reconceptualisation of work. | The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work From Tabernacle to Eucharist
