Thank you to all of our contributing authors and to @academicdiary.bsky.social and Nirmal Puwar for their powerful and often moving conversation with me and fellow editor @emmakjackson.bsky.social on the making and legacy of Live Methods

Live Methods was partly responding to the β€˜crisis in empirical sociology’. Writing this special issue we were in another crisis- the brutal destruction of the social sciences– inc Goldsmiths, the intellectual home of the collection. It makes Live Methods, its spirit and aims more important than ever

Manchester University Press - The return of the housewife The return of the housewife - Browse and buy the Hardcover edition of The return of the housewife by Emma Casey

Women’s unpaid labour is currently being glamorised and repositioned as empowering β€˜self-care’. My book is a call to resist the retreat back to highly conservative and debilitating representations of housework.
