ABSTRACT
The SLP is allied with the social sciences in a multitude of ways, several of which are covered in Part III as extensions and applications. As a complement to that discussion, this chapter explores the place of the SLP in and its contribution to social science theory. Here we examine the SLP as it relates to the concepts of time; gender; body; ethnicity; disability; inclusion, exclusion and social class; social capital; consumption; quality of life/well-being and the non-profit sector. The practical application of the SLP in the areas of disability and the non-profit sector will be discussed in Chapters 7 and 13, respectively.
