A New Face of Poverty? Economic Crises and Poverty Discourses
In: Poverty & public policy: a global journal of social security, income, aid, and welfare, Band 4, Heft 4, S. 183-204
ISSN: 1944-2858
AbstractThis article explores how economic downturns shape poverty knowledge. Utilizing a content analysis of 689 articles from three major newspapers from 2006 to 2009, this article examines how the Great Recession has shaped discourses on the meaning and causes of poverty in the United States. I find that contemporary accounts of people in poverty employ a structural/contextual narrative more often than a psychological/moral narrative and focus more on the symbolic, rather than material, aspects of poverty. This study highlights how economic crises create a space for new poverty discourses to emerge that challenge the hegemonic narrative, which stigmatizes and Otherizes people in poverty. However, representations of poverty remain racialized and gendered, as the "new poor" are portrayed as fundamentally different and more deserving of policy action than those who were in poverty prior to the Great Recession.

Medicalisation and psychologisation of poverty? An analysis of the scientific poverty discourse from 1956 to 2017
In: Journal of Poverty and Social Justice, Band 28, Heft 3, S. 361-381
ISSN: 1759-8281
Recent social science scholarship has argued that poverty is increasingly discussed as a problem that can have medical or psychological causes and could be tackled through therapeutic and health-related interventions. The aim of this study is to investigate if such a trend towards the medicalisation and psychologisation of poverty is present in the scientific poverty discourse. We analysed 13,553 articles on poverty in advanced, industrialised countries published between 1956 and 2017 and indexed in Web of Science. The results show that health sciences and psychology have been the fastest-growing research areas and the individual disciplines with currently the largest publication output on poverty.

"Makes Me Wanna Holler": Refuting the "Culture of Poverty" Discourse in Urban Schooling
In: The annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Band 673, Heft 1, S. 80-90
ISSN: 1552-3349
A common explanation of why urban students fail to succeed in the classroom is that they are coming from a "culture of poverty." This article argues that urban students, particularly those who are African American, face a series of structural and institutional barriers that impede their pathways to success. Lack of access to quality healthcare, affordable housing, and quality schools means that the nation's most disadvantaged children remain disadvantaged. Yet classrooms with highly qualified teachers who believe in the efficacy of their practice and the ability of all students to learn can make a difference in these children's lives.
It's our problem too ! Challenging the exclusion of poor people from poverty discourse
In: Critical social policy: a journal of theory and practice in social welfare, Band 15, Heft 44-45, S. 75-95
ISSN: 1461-703X
Poverty discourse is characterised by the exclusion of people with experience of poverty. This has shaped the nature of both debate and policy responses. This discussion looks at the reasons for this ex clusion, the effects it has had and makes the case for an inclusive poverty discourse as the basis for the reconceptualisation of poverty and the development of more effective strategies to deal with it.

Resisting the Neo‐liberal Poverty Discourse: On Constructing Deadbeat Dads and Welfare Queens
In: Sociology compass, Band 2, Heft 5, S. 1690-1700
ISSN: 1751-9020
AbstractThis article describes the impact of both neo‐liberal and conservative discourse upon poverty policy and welfare reform. In it, I summarize the discursive construction of welfare queens and deadbeat dads and the influence upon welfare reform while incorporating globalization in the discursive critique. This paper also describes the resistance to the discourse evidenced by those most affected by the poverty or welfare reform discourse. I suggest ways of critically examining our own discourse as well as the welfare reform discourse and our participation in it or resistance to it. The conclusion questions assumptions about dependency, welfare receipt and justice.
