The Embodied Everyday:
Constructing Anti-Poverty Activism as a Theology of Practice
Researcher: Dr Wren Radford
This project analyses the ‘embodied everyday’ as a site of marginalised communities’ struggle against poverty. The ‘everyday’ has become a vital theological category for understanding how people interact with, make meaning through, and seek liberation in daily life. Collaborating with community activists, the project critically engages creative qualitative methods, exploring how activists interpret their everyday embodied realities and how communities negotiate meaning during periods of political uncertainty. Developing these insights in conversation with feminist and disability theologies of embodiment, the project constructs a theology of anti-poverty practice that recognises the material, cultural, and sacred inherent in daily struggles.
