Identifying transformations in welfare work addressing battered women

Eva Bertelsen

Abstract

The main interest in this paper is to reflect upon how one might approach the study of transformations in the field of Women’s shelters in Denmark. Drawing on Prof. Andrew Woolford and his Bourdieu-inspired approach to studying changes (‘neoliberal restructuring’) in the Canadian non-profit field, I present a preliminary selection of concepts and understandings in order to construct a theoretic-analytical approach to access oral accounts/interview material. The overall idea is to construct transformations in a field, and let these function as background in a study of how practitioners currently adapts, resists or critique a changing field of practice
