Productive exposures: Vulnerability as a parallel practice of care in ethnographic and community spaces
Fay Gale Centre members Dr Gabby Zizzo, Professor Megan Warin and Dr Tanya Zivkovic have a publication out in the Australian Journal of Anthropology. Titled, "Productive exposures: Vulnerability as a parallel practice of care in ethnographic and community spaces,' the paper examines how a community program working with families identified as 'disadvantaged' in South Australia strategically uses vulnerability as a productive resource and a practice of care. In theorising vulnerability through parallel practices in both ethnographic approaches and this community program, we argue that vulnerability can be leveraged away from negative welfare discourses towards alternative politics of radical care and social change.
