"Callous Objects provides an incredibly clear and concise introduction to the key ideas in Science and Technology Studies that animate much of the current literature on homelessness and the built formIt is an essential reading for academics, both undergraduate and advanced scholars, and practitioners of policy, planning, and law."—Contemporary Political Theory

"This short, vivid and novel book serves as a timely reminder that our public spaces are not experienced equally." —LSE Review of Books

"In this small-but-powerful book, Robert Rosenberger delves into the objects and laws that target the homeless. The book balances its philosophical bent with a hard look at how cities and governments counter a homeless presence." —Metropolis
