Rebekah Graham, Ottilie Stolte, Polly Atatoa-Carr.
The way people source, prepare, and consume food is deeply interconnected with social practice. Drawing on theories of everyday life and social practice, we consider the everyday food-related practices and tactics for survival of six people experiencing homelessness.
Caseworkers from The People’s Project in Hamilton identified potential participants who met the researchers’ inclusion criteria (rehoused for 12 months or more by The People’s Project), who were interested in engaging in research interviews, and whose stories exemplified the realities faced by people who experience homelessness.
