VIDEO: FAQ on Poverty and Poverty Aware Practice (Hebrew with English subtitles)
In this seminal book, Krumer-Nevo introduces the Poverty-Aware Paradigm: a radical new framework for social workers and professionals working with and for people in poverty.
The author defines the core components of the Poverty-Aware Paradigm, explicates its embeddedness in key theories in poverty, critical social work and psychoanalysis, and links it to diverse facets of social work practice.
Providing a revolutionary new way to think about how social work can address poverty, she draws on the extensive application of the paradigm by social workers in Israel and across diverse poverty contexts to provide evidence for the practical advantages of integrating the Poverty-Aware Paradigm into social work practices across the globe.
"This book is a product of 30 years in the life and work of Michal Krumer-Nevo. I say ‘life and work’ as her vigour, determination, and deeply grounded empathy for people in poverty are woven through the fabric of the book." Journal of Social Work Practice
Michal Krumer-Nevo is a Professor at the Spitzer Department of Social Work at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
