Keynote today (4pm UK time) at the European Assoc for American Studies: juxtaposing Mexican and Greek stories of migrating to, and labouring in, the US. Livestream youtube.com/watch?v=tIrMtq… @LSE_US @LSE_poty @LSEUSAblog @JeanneMorefiel1 @Jodi7768 @james_muldoon_ @NDLON

This piece in @newlinesmag puts my Greek family migration story alongside stories of Mexican migration to find sources of fellow feeling and understanding of sharp differences @lea_ypi @JeanneMorefiel1 @CBeltranNYU @james_muldoon_ @Jodi7768 @NDLON newlinesmag.com/?fbclid=IwAR2p…

NEW: Amid talk of migrants “poisoning the blood of our country,” @apostopc reflects on his family’s migration from Greece to America and challenges his fellow “white ethnics” to see traces of the familiar in the journeys of today’s migrants. newlinesmag.com/first-person/f…

Contemporary echoes of Marx's 'working day' chapter: child labour abounds in the US today, with the worst violations (but least detected) at night @BrunoLeipold @james_muldoon_ @Jodi7768 @AAzmanova @NDLON nytimes.com/2023/12/28/us/…

My new EJPT article reads Marx's working-day chapter as exploring capital's attack on working-class social reproduction via the theme of night-labour @lea_ypi @BrunoLeipold @DrDuncanBell @JeanneMorefiel1 @stevenmklein @Jodi7768 @james_muldoon_ @AAzmanova journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…

We’re really excited to collaborate with @LSEGovernment and Prof @apostopc for our GLA Data Challenge project researching diversity in local government across London. Today we had our first in person team meeting with more research assistants joining soon.

Lois McNay argues powerfully for a heightened role for oppressed people's 'direct experiences' in critical theory in The Gender of Critical Theory. See my CPT review @DrDuncanBell @AAzmanova @lea_ypi @james_muldoon_ @JeanneMorefiel1 link.springer.com/article/10.105…

New article! @james_muldoon_ and I examine experiences of very low-paid digital workers whose precarious labour enables AI expansion but who don't see their activity as ‘real’ work. Check it out @JeanneMorefiel1 @LSE_poty @DannyPostel @Jodi7768 @AAzmanova journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

@AnuradhaGanapat @truthfultrash @ITforChange Agreed, excellent and thought-provoking presentation at the Amsterdam conference.

Our research - which centred gig worker households gave us important insights into how on-demand platforms engender collective dispossession - Nandini Chami, @truthfultrash and I write about this in our soon to be released paper @ITforChange #GDC_UVA23

@grundrza Brilliant, indeed! Much gratitude.

There was only one person on this planet I was certain would never retire: Michael Burawoy. Apparently, I was dead wrong. No other single figure has had such a formative effect on my thinking and writing. Happy extended sabbatical, big dog! ❤️
