We
view poverty as produced through political, economic, and cultural
mechanisms, that are connected and recurrent across space and also
(co)produced through human actions and places. We argue for the
simultaneity of the operation of materials processes and social
constructions of poverty. We have a central concern with social
and global justice and we view the poor as creative agents with
capacity to define their actions and futures. Our work has clear
ethical dimensions that are concerned with global and social
justice.
We are committed to engaging multiple audiences including policy actors, academics, social movements, non-governmental organizations, and the public broadly. We explicitly separate policy and action, arguing that there are multiple forms of action and social change, emanating from multiple sites and politics.
