Left Pessimists’ in ‘Rose Coloured Glasses’? Reflections on the Political Economy of Socio‐Legal Studies and (Legal) Academic Well‐Being
This article reflects on the significance of the Journal of Law and Society and critical socio‐legal work in the context of changes in the political economy of universities and socio‐legal studies. It interweaves an analysis of this shifting political economy with consideration of another topic, namely, academic well‐being and mental health, especially in this moment, to demonstrate the continuing pertinence and importance of the left critique of…
Fatherhood, gender and the making of professional identity in large law firms
This paper reframes debates about gender equality in the legal professions by interrogating the practices of men and interconnections between fatherhood, gender and parenting within the specific context of large corporate law firms. Drawing on interviews with male lawyer-fathers, it argues that closer exploration of fatherhood reveals much about the gendered dynamics of identity formation as a legal professional in this sector. A set of ideas abo…

Fathers' rights, gender and welfare
This article reconsiders the development of fathers' rights politics within the legal arena in recent years, seeking to trace a way through the often highly polarised debates in this area.

In the context of significant shifts in the m…

The Law School, the Legal Academy and the ‘Global Knowledge Economy’ - Reflections on a Growing Debate
The Liberal Law School, the Restructured University and the Paradox of Socio-Legal Studies
The law school does not exist to service the needs of the legal professions or anyone else.. .utility does not validate research in the university law school nor does the degree of utility increase the importance of research. Ideas are important but there is no ranking in their importance. Ifmy research pleases me, or at least does not entirely displease me, and if I attempt to live by the rules of scholarship, it needs no further warrant.2
Masculinities
A Hard Time to Be a Father
This article seeks to unpack the way in which a constellation of ideas around what it means to speak of ‘good fatherhood’ has come to inform a series of debates, after the election of the New Labour government in 1997, around the content and contours of paternal responsibility. Via a focus on family law and recent developments around the idea of ‘work‐life’ balance, it discusses the concepts underpinning present debates. In questioning the still‐…
Law, Sex Difference and the Body
Nutty Professors', 'Men in Suits' and 'New Entrepreneurs
This article is an exploration of the relationship between the social production of heterosexual masculinities and the 'making of men' as legal 'professionals' - as prac tising lawyers and legal academics. The focus is an analysis of the ways in which a range of categories of 'masculine' subjectivities are presently encoded as heterosexual within the institutional and organizational contexts of legal academy and legal prac tice. Theoretically, th…
