Infrastructures of interdependency in queer mobility and migration to South Australia
This article examines how informal care practices and infrastructures shape the settlement and long-term belonging of gender- and sexuality-diverse people who migrated internally to Adelaide, South Australia, from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Challenging dominant narratives that frame queer mobility as oriented towards major metropolitan centres and driven by individualised opportunity, the article foregrounds care as a collective, relational, a…

Reading Group as Method for Feminist Environmental Humanities
This article argues that reading groups are a collective field building and research method in Feminist Environmental Humanities, an interdisciplinary scholarly area at the intersections of feminist social justice and environmental concerns. We begin by historicising three Australian Feminist Environmental reading groups (COMPOSTING Feminisms, Eco Feminist Fridays, The Ediths) within a longer feminist tradition, then demonstrate how they respond …
Exploring the work-life challenges and dilemmas faced by managers and professionals who live alone
This article aims to question the dominant understanding of work-life balance or conflict as primarily a 'work-family' issue. It does this by exploring the experiences of managers and professionals who live alone and do not have children - a group of employees traditionally overlooked in work-life policy and research but, significantly, a group on the rise within the working age population. Semi-structured interviews with 36 solo-living managers …
Exploring the private pension gender gap and occupation in later working life
This article investigates the gender gap in private pension (PP) membership and wealth across different occupations among a cohort of employees using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Using a Heckman selection model to correct for selection bias the results show that gender has a stronger effect than occupation on PP membership and that it is female employees' lower rate of PP membership that has the greatest impact on their abi…
Putting the Agent into Research in Black and Minority Ethnic Entrepreneurship
This paper considers what realist social theory (RST) can add to existing knowledge about black and minority ethnic (BME) entrepreneurs and outlines a methodology for exploring the role of the BME entrepreneur. For this group, embodied signifiers such as skills and abilities, cultural characteristics, social norms, and value systems combine with structural antecedents, such as financial, contractual, professional, and other national and regional …
Redundancy as a critical life event
This article investigates the process of moving on from redundancy in the Welsh steel industry among individuals seeking new careers. It identifies a spectrum of career change experience, ranging from those who had actively planned their career change, prior to the redundancies, to those 'at a career crossroads', for whom there were tensions between future projects, present contingencies and past identities. It suggests that the process of moving…
All that is Solid
This article explores the importance of class and collectivism to personal identity, and the role this played during a period of personal and collective crisis created by mass redundancy in the Welsh steel industry. The research findings demonstrate the importance of occupational identity to individual and collective identity formation. The apparent desire to maintain this collective identity acted as a form of resistance to the increased individ…

Women’s Domestic Labour
This contribution to current debates about the political economy of housework has two specific objectives. Firstly, it presents a critique of Wally Seccombe’s article in nlr 83, ‘The Housewife and her Labour under Capitalism’. Secondly, it looks at two questions currently under discussion amongst Marxist feminists concerning
