Abstract
As outlined in Chapter 5, the lived experiences and subjectivities of home often stand in stark contrast to how home is understood in policy debates, as highlighted in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 discusses the relevance of a situated intersectional analysis and trans-locational subjectivities of home, in the context of intersecting global/local, social, economic and political inequalities (Yuval-Davis, 2015). It covers diverse subjectivities and experiences of home, commencing with the voices of First Nations Peoples in Canada and Australia, who were alienated and stolen from their homes through abusive colonial state policies. This is followed by a discussion of research on the subjectivities of home in migration, through the life course and about intersections related to gender, sexuality, disability and cultural belonging. As reflexive social work researchers, we can also interrogate our own social positions of privilege and connections to home, which includes researchers’ complicated connections to a place, a country and political or cultural identity (Coloma, 2008).
