About

This research at the Heriot-Watt University is offered at PhD level and the programme is Poverty, Homelessness and Social Justice .

Overview

At the Heriot-Watt University, we offer our graduate students a phd degree in Poverty, Homelessness and Social Justice. 

Features 

  • This theme explores the experiences, needs and perspectives of the most vulnerable and excluded groups in the housing market (such as homeless people, those fleeing domestic violence, new migrants, young people, ex-offenders, people with substance misuse problems, and those at risk of losing their home through anti-social behaviour).

Programme Structure

Research

  • An extensive course of work has focused on ‘street culture’ activities, for example, rough sleeping, begging, street drinking, street prostitution, and 'survival' crimes (such as shoplifting). 
  • The ethical basis for ‘interventionist’ service approaches which seek to change homeless people's lifestyles has been a key research focus, as well as the use of social control mechanisms (such as ASBOs) to 'manage' street populations.
