At this event, Marnie Holborow will present her new book, Homes in Crisis Capitalism (Bloomsbury, 2024). The book explores work and care provided in the home, and identifies their effects on gender inequality and discrimination. Holborow makes the case for a radical break with capitalism to give social reproduction the material resources and social recognition it deserves.
The ebook is available to read via the Bloomsbury website: https://www.bloomsburycollections.com/monograph?docid=b-9781350379992
Giuliana Ferri (UCL Centre for Applied Linguistics) and Amy Horton (UCL Geography) will offer short responses.
To help build connections within UCL, colleagues working on related themes will also be invited to briefly introduce their research. Early career scholars are warmly welcome.
The session will end with a drinks reception. Please register to attend: https://uclccs-homes-crisis.eventbrite.co.uk
