Please join us for an exciting event where our third-year PhD students will be talking about their research and emerging scholarship.

 

Jenny’s project uses survey data to analyse how women and men’s work-family life courses have been changing over time in the UK, and how these patterns of change differ by class.

 

Aiko’s research focuses on gender training for uniformed peacekeepers, interrogating the politics of how knowledge about gender is produced and circulated through this practice.

 

Billy examines how affect is mobilized around border and migration politics focusing in particular on what role emotion and affect play in the public reaction to the so called “refugee crisis” in Germany.
