Home Space, Gender and Activism in the UK
Intervenante
Eleanor Jupp, Reader in Sociology and Social Policy, Director of Graduate Studies, School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Research, University of Kent.
Titre de l’intervention : ’Home Space, Gender and Activism in the UK’
Eleonor Jupp will present findings from recent research on local organising and activism among low income women in the UK, in contexts of austerity, but also the Covid-19 pandemic, and wider ‘cost of living’ crisis. Case studies discussed will include local organising around housing, food and austerity cuts to services. Drawing on feminist understandings of home space and care, which challenge a dichotomy between public politics and private lives, Eleonor Jupp will discuss the emergence of a fragile but potent ‘politics of everyday life’. “I will assess how this politics fits into wider social and cultural dynamics in the UK and make a case for a detailed attention to these emergent practices.”
