The work-family and burnout nexus
Occupational burnout is a growing concern in the occupational health context. Coal miners, due to the physically demanding nature of their work, long shifts, and limited recovery time, are particularly vulnerable to occupational burnout, especially when these demands interfere with their family responsibilities.

Covid-19 and the (smart) city
Hijras, a non-normative sexual minority, routinely experience an array of risks, stigmas, and exclusions in their everyday lives and livelihoods which intensified during COVID-19.

Data was collected through in-depth interviews, FGDs, and non-participant observation from a sample of 84 hijra responde…

As rational collective actions, both movements relied on the agency of project-affected persons who quest…

Implementation of the Act, our empirical findings tell us, has become the site of tangible exchanges between state and society, with factors such as the leve…
