  • Changing work/places: Remote work and the prospect of rural and coastal revival in Great Britain

    Open Access•Darja Reuschke, Darja id_orcid 0000-0001-6961- Reuschke et al.•ARTICLE•Regional Science Policy & Practice•2026

    This paper investigates the geographical implications of the post-COVID surge in remote working across Great Britain, contributing to the literature a new conceptual distinction between fully remote work and ‘office-centric’ versus ‘remote-centric’ hybrid roles. Drawing on the UK Labour Force Survey 2022 and 2025, it analyses relationships between different modalities of remote work and residential patterns, internal migration and regional econom…

  • Revisiting ‘low politics’: The geopolitical contours of the EU Work–Life Balance Directive

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy, Rosalie Ward•ARTICLE•Journal of Industrial Relations•2026

    This paper examines how the tension between supranational integration and far-right nationalism shapes everyday working lives, focusing on the transposition of the European Union Work–Life Balance (WLB) Directive. It addresses a critical gap in Industrial Relations scholarship by exploring the role of social dialogue in mediating this geopolitical fault line during transposition. Through a comparative study of Denmark, Hungary and Italy, the pape…

  • Charting 25 years of labour geographies in JEG

    Open Access•Al Jame, Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Journal of Economic Geography•2026•References: 35

    This critical commentary celebrates the major intellectual advances and evolution of labour geography over the last 25 years, as showcased through the pages of JEG. It also identifies some persistent blind spots, marginalized actors, and vital future directions through which labour geographers (as future authors, reviewers, and editors of JEG) should continue to push the boundaries of economic geography as a field of study through new and evolvin…

  • Austere futures: From hardship to hope

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Geographical Journal•2025•Cited by: 3•References: 52

    This paper reflects on the enduring significance of austerity and its multifaceted influence on society. It emphasises the stark contrast between the promise of future prosperity, used to justify spending cuts and tax increases in the aftermath of the 2008 crash and recession, and the long-lasting ramifications of these measures in terms of increasing poverty and growing inequality. Drawing from studies in this Themed Section of The Geographical …

  • Neighbourhood regeneration through a longitudinal lens: Exploring crisis temporalities in Bristol, UK

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Area•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 20

    This paper employs a longitudinal lens to examine the temporal dimensions of urban neighbourhood regeneration. Specifically, it focuses on four neighbourhoods in Bristol, UK, which were subject to the flagship New Deal for Communities programme from 2000 to 2010. By combining past research into the (then) emerging impact of the NDC with data from more recent enquiries into the daily lives and experiences of residents after the programme's end, th…

  • Possibilities of urban research: Temporal difference and the politics of the future

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Urban Research•2023

    Reflecting on Ihnji Jon's contention that urban conflicts emerge from the ‘different conceptualisations of temporality’ that groups of residents hold, this paper considers how urban practitioners might productively engage with time as a situated experience. Specifically, it considers the methodological techniques, forms of collaboration and modes of engagement that enable a focus on the entanglements of past, present and future times which underp…

  • Rethinking urban utopianism: The fallacy of social mix in the 15-minute city

    Open Access•Giada Casarin, Julie Macleavy et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2023•Cited by: 7•References: 74

    The concept of urban living is evolving, and there is a growing interest in creating smaller, more connected, and hyperlocal neighbourhoods, where everything people need is within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. This paper challenges the concept of the ‘15-minute city’ as a panacea for urban ills, by exploring the history of utopian urban planning and regeneration aimed at creating sustainable, inclusive and vibrant communities by desegregating di…

  • Analysing the socio-economic impacts of Covid-19: A New Regional Geography or Pandemic Enhanced Inequalities

    Open Access•Katie Cro, Jamie Evans et al.•ARTICLE•Regional Studies Regional Science•2022•Cited by: 8•References: 1

    In the UK the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 mitigations over the course of the pandemic (March 2020 to the time of writing in January 2022) have been experienced unevenly and with differential intensities at both the regional and local scales. Using individual-level geocoded data (from the Understanding Society: UK Household Longitudinal Survey COVID-19 study) linking people to the places in which they live, we consider the regional and …

  • Brexit as Britain in Decline and its Crises (Revisited)

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy, Martin Jones•ARTICLE•The Political Quarterly•2021•Cited by: 7

    This article revisits Andrew Gamble's book, Britain in Decline , and also revisits the geographies of state crisis. Drawing on the substantial archives of state theory, the article explores how Brexit emerged as a moment of crisis following the relative decline of the economy and the reshaping of the welfare state. Discussions of Brexit and the uneven geographies of advanced capitalism inevitably raise questions about the central tension between …

  • Tangible co‐production? Engaging and creating with fathers

    Open Access•Iryna Culpin, Esther Dermott et al.•ARTICLE•Area•2021•Cited by: 4•References: 18

    This paper adds to an increasing body of social science literature, which engages with the research practice of “co‐production.” It aims to make a distinctive contribution by suggesting that what is produced under this process should be given greater attention. Previous literature has focused on the “co” (cooperative) element: debating whether and under what conditions wider participation between academic and non‐academic actors can be genuinely …

  • Feminism and futurity: Geographies of resistance, resilience and reworking

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy, Maria Fannin et al.•ARTICLE•Progress in Human Geography•2021•Cited by: 42•References: 46

    This article is designed to stimulate debate over the possibilities for thinking feminist futures. It argues for moving away from a linear understanding of feminism which assumes that past feminism produces present and future feminism as a response to its previous waves. Instead, we argue for embracing the multiplicity and simultaneity of contemporary feminisms, taking inspiration from Elizabeth Grosz’s writings on futurity and Cindi Katz’s work …

  • Care work, gender inequality and technological advancement in the age of Covid‐19

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2020•Cited by: 12•References: 16

    COVID‐19 has created a challenge and opportunity to change collective economic and care systems. While the care deficit that confronts the UK pre‐dates the pandemic, contemporary events have made it clear that care is a foundational element of a safe, functioning society. Building on research that shows new technologies are being used to augment the work of paid carers in nations facing labour shortages, funding constraints and hostility to immig…

  • Mechanism, process and the wider context of economic geography

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2019•Cited by: 1•References: 9

    This commentary responds to Henry Wai-chung Yeung’s call to develop clearer causal explanations in geography through mechanism-based thinking. His suggested use of a critical realist framework to ground geographical research on economies is, on one level, appealing and may help to counteract taken-for-granted assumptions about socio-spatial conditions and the significance of economic structures for everyday lived experiences. However, the general…

  • A ‘Post‐Work’ World: Geographical Engagements with the Future of Work

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy, Andrew Lapworth•ARTICLE•The Political Quarterly•2019•Cited by: 6•References: 4

    This article reviews geographical research on labour market changes that pose a challenge to ‘work’ as a compelling category of analysis. Drawing inspiration from feminist scholarship that has sought to develop a frame for thinking about the concept of work so that other activities outside employment are recognised, it considers what everyday practices of work, including domestic and reproductive labour, can teach us about the realities and futur…

  • Socio‐political fracturing: Inequality, stalled social mobility and electoral outcomes

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy, David Manley•ARTICLE•Area•2019•Cited by: 1•References: 35

    The past 18 months have delivered a series of “surprising” electoral outcomes. In the USA , the election of Donald Trump confounded expectations. In the UK , the leave result from the EU referendum and the subsequent snap General Election which saw the Conservative Party lose their majority have been heralded as knife‐edge moments and a new period in politics. This paper makes an alternative contention. It posits that the electoral outcomes of 20…

    Open Access•Harry Bromley-Davenport, Julie Macleavy et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning C…•2018•Cited by: 13•References: 18

    There is a growing narrative that the outcome of the UK referendum on European Union membership was the product of disenfranchisement and disillusionment wrought by the uneven consequences of economic restructuring in different UK regions, cities and communities. Those most likely to vote ‘leave’ were concentrated among those ‘left behind’ by globalisation, whilst those voting ‘remain’ were clustered within more affluent areas and social groups. …

  • Women, equality and the UK's EU referendum: Locating the gender politics of Brexit in relation to the neoliberalising state

    Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Space and Polity•2018•Cited by: 6•References: 22

    This paper uses a feminist state-theoretical approach to explore the development of Brexit and argues that the UK's EU referendum and its aftermath reflect a gendered politics embedded within the ongoing neoliberal restructuring of the state. Directing attention to the struggle to protect women’s interests, maintain equality strategies, and more generally infuse a gender dimension in political discussions, the paper emphasises the risks of Brexit…

  • (Re)discovering the lost middle: Intergenerational inheritances and economic inequality in urban and regional research

    Julie Macleavy, David Manley•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2018•Cited by: 9•References: 11

    This paper calls for deepening understandings of inequality and the reproduction of inequality across the income distribution. In particular, it brings intergenerational transmissions and place effects, their interaction and progression over time into greater focus. The objective is to understand the implications of increasing inequality for those in the large and under-researched ‘middle group’. The paper makes the case for urban and regional re…

  • Regendering care in the aftermath of recession

    Open Access•Kate Boyer, Esther Dermott et al.•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2017•Cited by: 15•References: 39

    Against a backdrop of persistent gender inequalities around childcare, recent research suggests that some men – and especially fathers – are engaging to a greater extent in the everyday tasks of social reproduction. However, our understanding of the multiple factors, motivations and institutions that facilitate and constrain this nuanced ‘regendering of care’ phenomenon in different national contexts remains limited. Previous work has theorized t…

  • Men at work? Debating shifting gender divisions of care

    Open Access•Kate Boyer, Esther Dermott et al.•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2017•Cited by: 4•References: 7

    In response to four commentaries on our paper ‘Regendering care in the aftermath of recession?’, we extend our discussion of the ongoing knowledge gap that prevails around shifting patterns of male work/care. Recognizing the spatial limits of extant theories of male primary caregiving, we discuss first the need to attend to the variegated landscapes of male caregiving across the globe. Likewise, the theoretical stakes of expanding the focus of ‘m…

  • Handbook of Neoliberalism

    Matthew Eagleton-Pierce, Simon Springer et al.•BOOK•Handbook of Neoliberalism•2016

    What is new about neoliberalism? Such a question immediately implies that certain objects and processes can be defined as ‘neoliberal’ and, importantly, that the contents of the ‘neo’ can be explained by reference to a larger phenomenon called liberalism. A veritable galaxy of things are now attached to the term ‘neoliberalism’, if not as some primary identifying marker then at least as one descriptive property among others. This chapter seeks to…

In particular, the paper considers the recasting of the former Labour government's work incentives and welfare disincentives amidst mounting pressures on public expenditure.

  • (Re)Analysing Community Empowerment: Rationalities and Technologies of Government in Bristol's New Deal for Communities

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2009•Cited by: 15•References: 41

    Urban regeneration is increasingly framed around notions of community empowerment. Policy programmes seek to make communities visible and then strengthen and support them through the establishment of a leadership role in urban regeneration practices. At first glance, this appears to be a positive development. Yet commentators note how community partnerships—seen to invoke a `rolling back' of the state—are indicative of a particular economic logic…

  • En gender ing New Labour's Workfarist Regime: Exploring the intersection of welfare state restructuring and labour market policies in the UK

    This article deconstructs New Labour's emerging workfarist regime to reveal the complex and contradictory gender relations embodied in and through its work–welfare policy. Starting from the decline of manufacturing employment within the UK, it traces the deregulation of the labour market and the range of structural and social changes initiated by this process. Noting, in particular, how the ‘feminisation of the economy’ is connected to the changi…

  • Reconfiguring work and welfare in the UK's ‘New Economy’: Regulatory geographies of welfare-to-work at the local level

    Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Gender Place & Culture•2011•Cited by: 11•References: 20

    Welfare-to-work lies at the heart of the British government's employment strategy. Its key initiative – a series of 'New Deals' for the unemployed – is a supply-side active labour market policy that has been combined with important changes to the tax and benefit system to try and engage the unemployed in employment. In this, the need to give support to individuals to partake in work is emphasised. Yet there is little consideration of how the re-r…

Specifically, the paper focuses on the potential of the six-dimension model to fram…

    In recent decades, welfare reform in the USA has increasingly been based on a political imperative to reduce the number of people on welfare. This has in large part taken place through the establishment of a “workfare” state, in which the receipt of state benefits requires a paid labor input. Designed to reduce expenditure on civil social services, welfare‐to‐work programs have been introduced. At the same time, the restructuring of US defense pr…

    Welfare-to-work lies at the heart of the British government's employment strategy. Its key initiative – a series of 'New Deals' for the unemployed – is a supply-side active labour market policy that has been combined with important changes to the tax and benefit system to try and engage the unemployed in employment. In this, the need to give support to individuals to partake in work is emphasised. Yet there is little consideration of how the re-r…

  • The lore of the jungle: Neoliberalism and statecraft in the global‐local disorder (revisiting Peck and Tickell)

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Area•2012•Cited by: 2•References: 21

    In 1994, Jamie Peck and Adam Tickell published ‘Jungle law breaks out: neoliberalism and global‐local disorder’. In this paper, Peck and Tickell proposed that the dramatic acceleration of place‐based competition was the result of political‐economic disorder at the global scale and that neoliberalism was critical to the understanding of this shift in scale of political and economic governance practices. Moreover, they argued that rather than resto…

    In this short commentary, I respond to Weller and O’Neill’s (2014) presentation of neoliberalism as a ‘summary word that elides a complex reality and dissuades close political engagement’. Whilst I agree that we need to avoid the easy rhetoric of universality in our research enquiries, our attempts to recognize, explain and theorize paradigmatic changes in capitalism necessitate a comprehension of the global context. Attending to the relationship…

  • Workfare and resistance in the US: The Quietude and Ineffectiveness of Progressive Welfare Politics Post 1996

    Open Access•Julie Macleavy•ARTICLE•Geographical Journal•2015•Cited by: 1•References: 17

    This paper focuses on the implementation of workfare in the US, with the aim of understanding the passive response of the unions and other progressive groups to the restructuring and retrenchment of the American welfare system. In particular, it considers the disparate efforts to organise welfare recipients and low-wage workers around the restructuring of social benefits towards work in the District of Columbia. Although the convergence of welfar…

  • Handbook of Neoliberalism

    Matthew Eagleton-Pierce, Simon Springer et al.•BOOK•Handbook of Neoliberalism•2016

    What is new about neoliberalism? Such a question immediately implies that certain objects and processes can be defined as ‘neoliberal’ and, importantly, that the contents of the ‘neo’ can be explained by reference to a larger phenomenon called liberalism. A veritable galaxy of things are now attached to the term ‘neoliberalism’, if not as some primary identifying marker then at least as one descriptive property among others. This chapter seeks to…

  • Regendering care in the aftermath of recession

    Open Access•Kate Boyer, Esther Dermott et al.•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2017•Cited by: 15•References: 39

    Against a backdrop of persistent gender inequalities around childcare, recent research suggests that some men – and especially fathers – are engaging to a greater extent in the everyday tasks of social reproduction. However, our understanding of the multiple factors, motivations and institutions that facilitate and constrain this nuanced ‘regendering of care’ phenomenon in different national contexts remains limited. Previous work has theorized t…

  • Men at work? Debating shifting gender divisions of care

    Open Access•Kate Boyer, Esther Dermott et al.•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2017•Cited by: 4•References: 7

    In response to four commentaries on our paper ‘Regendering care in the aftermath of recession?’, we extend our discussion of the ongoing knowledge gap that prevails around shifting patterns of male work/care. Recognizing the spatial limits of extant theories of male primary caregiving, we discuss first the need to attend to the variegated landscapes of male caregiving across the globe. Likewise, the theoretical stakes of expanding the focus of ‘m…
