An Intersectional Approach To Homelessness: Discrimination And Criminalization
An Intersectional Approach To Homelessness: Discrimination And Criminalization
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
The purpose of this essay is to address discrimination against homeless people. First of all, the theory of intersectionality will be explained and then applied as a method of analysis.

Activation Measures In Social Security: Lessons From The Dutch Case
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
Dutch social security has undergone important changes since the 1990s, in that the focus shifted from predominantly compensating the loss of income into giving incentives for claimants and benefits recipients to stay in or get back to work.

Healthism, Intersectionality, And Health Insurance: The Compounded Problems Of Healthist Discrimination

This Essay analyzes these issues as they relate to health insurance, Medicare, and the potential role of the Independent Payment Advisory Board.
