Landscapes of Voluntarism collects new and innovative work by researchers from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom—sites where voluntarism has become increasingly important in the development and delivery of social welfare policy. With a preface by one of the foremost geographers in the field, this book features empirical and theoretical work from both emerging and well-established scholars. These contributors explore the interactions between voluntarism and a range of issues including governance, health, community action, faith, ethnicity, counselling, and professionalization.
