Personal profile
Overview
Research interests:
Marxist-Feminism; Theorisations of Social Reproduction; Critical theories of health, illness and work.
I am interested in how the body is implicated in everyday struggles for socialreproduction under capitalism and how processes regenerating capacities to work (i.e.labour power) are channelled through the body.
PhD Project:
My PhD research investigates illness and burnout experienced by health workers in North West England to explore how health depletion is produced in the nexus of states, households, markets, and workplaces. Theoretically, it draws together insights from feminist political economy and critical theories of illness and disability to capture how the body is tied into extractive, exhausting and alienating processes in the spaces of ‘work’, ‘home’, and life.
