Historicizing the Nineteenth-Century Entrepreneurial Theatrical Artisan
This paper sets out to establish the historiographical significance of a theatrical artisan and his body of work, in order to question the roots and routes of our methodologies for mapping the period. Henry Hamilton’s career as dramatist spanned 45 years (1873–1918), during which time he consistently and prolifically created works that were commercially successful and popular with audiences: from autumn dramas at Drury Lane to musical comedies fo…
Selling Our Youth
Selling Our Youth explores the way the class origins of recent graduates continue to shape their labour market careers and thus to reproduce class privilege and class disadvantage, illustrating how class and gender come together to influence these young adults’ opportunities and choices.
Higher Education, Social Class and Social Mobility

Class Descriptors or Class Relations? Thoughts Towards a Critique of Savage et al
The work of Savage et al. in relation to the Great British Class Survey is acknowledged as an important contribution to a reinvigorated sociological research agenda on class, with a major public impact, but it is argued that the analysis, although bold and responsive to current social transformations, is flawed. Three weaknesses are identified: the approach to class is gradational, not relational; the markers of cultural capital used in the model…
Intersectional Sensibilities in Analysing Inequality Regimes in Public Sector Organizations
Using Acker's conceptual framework of inequality regimes, this article explores the experiences of Bangladeshi, Caribbean and Pakistani women working in three parts of the public sector: health, local government and higher education. Our concern is to investigate how inequality regimes are sustained, despite the existence in the public sector of more sophisticated policy development and stronger legal duties than in the private sector. Drawing on…

Fractured Transitions
This article uses qualitative data from a study of young adults aged 20-34 in Bristol to explore the labour market transitions considered typical of contemporary advanced economies.The main objective of the article is to develop a typology of labour market pathways that illuminates the complexity and variability of lengthened youth transitions. In addition to this typology we explore the economic consequences of these pathways for young adults, s…
The loss of possibility
This paper explores the special nature of bereavement in the case of first trimester miscarriage. It is theoretically informed by the sociological literature concerning death and bereavement and is empirically grounded in interviews with 79 women. We argue that the 'scientisation of death' in modern societies contributes to the uncertainty and isolation which distinguish early miscarriage as a unique form of loss. In the absence of clear cultural…

The seductions of the archive
The archive can take many forms but all are marked by a connective sequence: archive, memory, the past, narrative. The author explores this sequence through an account of her engagement with four different types of archive, constructing a phenomenology of the archive which highlights the promises and seductions offered to the researcher. Postmodern questioning may throw in doubt older conceptions, whereby the archive is used to legitimate knowled…
