Women’s experiences of menopause at work and performance management
Presenting findings from our global evidence review of menopause transition and economic participation emboldened us to establish a menopause policy at the university where we all worked at the time. Our report was published in July 2017 and the policy was in place by November that year. Our critical reflection on this activism focuses on issues that are not commonly recognized around such interventions, and which we ourselves have only been able…
The post-re/productive: Researching the Menopause
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consider the impact of these experiences on the authors' work and on the authors. Design/methodology/approach Following the publication of the report, the authors undertook collective, autoethnographic memory work that forms the empirical body of the argument. This is presented in 13 vignettes. Findings The authors found themselves continually traversing. Research limitations/implications The paper analyses…
In the Family Way: Bringing a Mother-Daughter (Matrilineal) Perspective to Retail Innovation and Consumer Culture
Here we apply the multilevel narrative approach of critical oral history to develop intergenerational narratives that show how social change in consumer culture is enacted through family interrelations. The research uses intergenerational storytelling to describe memories of women as mothers and daughters in families. Places and practices around provisioning, budgeting, cooking, childcare, and domestic labour provide the setting in which the dial…
Buying into motherhood? Problematic consumption and ambivalence in transitional phases
Current theory on transitional consumption seems to rest on the premises that (1) consumption facilitates role transitions; (2) consumers know how to consume their way through these transitions; (3) consumers are motivated to approach new roles; and (4) consumption solves liminality. This perspective, however, offers an incomplete picture of consumption’s role in the management of major life transitions. This article explores the ways in which am…

Overview This paper seeks to demonstrate remedies for two deficiencies in literature on museum visiting. Firstly, it attends to generic rather than situationally-contingent motivations. Secondly, it considers non-visitors as well as visitors. Particular attention is also given to constraints on visiting and how people try to 'consume' cultural attractions. The discussion is resourced from a sample survey conducted in Edinburgh, a city which provi…
