> Contradictions of community and paradoxes of power
> Marilyn Taylor
> This paper, based on a inaugural lecture, draws on some thirty years of
> empowerment research and experience to examine some of the persistent
> tensions that lie behind the concept of community empowerment and the
> possibilities for change - £5.00

> Sexuality and anti-oppressive practice
> Helen Charnley & Jackie Langley
> This paper examines the ways in which lesbian women and gay men are
> effectively excluded from mainstream social services provision. The
> authors demonstrate how oppression permeates all layers of the social
> services system, as dominant heterosexist norms prevail over principles of
> anti-oppressive practice that are seen as central to social work practice

> A drop in the ocean
> Peter Ambrose
> The report documents a 700% 'health gain' following the renewal of some
> very poor housing under the Single Regeneration Budget scheme in central
> Stepney. It also draws attention to the absence of any positive health
> 'spread effects' elsewhere in Tower Hamlets and suggests that area renewal
> schemes have limited capability to bring about a more general raising of
> health standards (2000) - £12.50

> The financial situation of students at the University of Brighton
> 1999/2000
> Caroline Newell & Sandra Winn
> This report continues a series of surveys which have been undertaken
> annually since 1992. The findings indicate that students' financial
> circumstances are increasingly diverse: some students rely on student
> loans and part-time employment to finance their living costs, while others
> have become more dependent on their families as their main source of
> income (2000) - £5.00

> An evaluation of the Brighton and Hove attachment project
> Mick Cooper, Phil Haynes, Val Williamson & Doris Ndebele
> A qualitative study of families and carers whose children had attachment
> difficulties, discussing the impact made by a multi-disciplinary service
> that provided intensive attachment therapy. Carers reported that the
> approach could make a significant impact on understanding and perception,
> and partner agencies developed a flexible approach to management and
> supervision. The Evaluation also discusses issues about the difficulty of
> measuring outcomes in policy areas that are highly complex (2001) -
> £5.00
