Liminal Living At An Extended Stay Hotel: Feeling "Stuck" In A Housing Solution, Terri Wingate-Lewinson, June Hopps, Patricia Reeves

This paper draws from data qualitatively collected via semi-structured interviews from ten low-income residents living in an extended-stay hotel. Descriptions of these residen- tial experiences are presented along with recommendations for social workers practicing with …

Mutual But Unequal: Mentoring As A Hybrid Of Familiar Relationship Roles, Julia Pryce Dec 2009

Mutual But Unequal: Mentoring As A Hybrid Of Familiar Relationship Roles, Julia Pryce

Julia Pryce

Keller and Pryce apply this framework to reveal the consistency of findings across several …
