Bøger af Erin B. Taylor

This publication provides researchers and their colleagues with tools and ideas to improve not only how research is planned and applied but also to embed research into the culture of organizations. In this way value can be created at many levels, both for end-users and for the people who work to meet end-user needs.

In Materializing Poverty, anthropologist Erin Taylor explores how residents of a squatter settlement in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, use their material resources creatively to solve everyday problems and, over a few decades, radically transform the community. Their struggles show how these everyday engagements with materiality, rather than more dramatic efforts, generate social change and build futures.
