Conclusion

Abstract

The conclusion recaps the texts and organization of the book and highlights the significance of future research. Work on the political and economic limitations of refugees and guest workers, precarious housing as an international crisis, homelessness and its impact on groups such as LGBTQ youth, as well as the domestic violence too often experienced inside private spaces that are associated with safety sheds lights on the uncomfortable dangers that must continue to be discussed in order to make the places and ideas that make up home more safe and welcoming and, thus, able to reflect some the idioms and clichés on which we too often fall back when speaking about home. Literary, filmic, and other creative texts can also help to explore these issues beyond the localized or quantified studies, offering additional lenses and scopes.
