Abstract

This chapter, by the editors, summarises the common issues emerging from the three themes of the book: stigma, environment and community, and two that are evident throughout the chapters: stories as data and the pros and cons of the digital revolution. The innovative as well as well-versed ways of seeing the world and its issues that the contributors have outlined are highlighted, offering as the book reaches a conclusion further amplification of the notion of community as fundamental to rural social work practice.
