The first in this term’s Medway research seminar series\u00a0will be held on Wednesday 10 February at 16.00 in the Gillingham Building (G2.21).<\/p>\n
Abstract: Dr Ellie Jupp, Lecturer\u00a0in Social Policy will deliver a paper entitled ‘Gender and the geographies of austerity activism’. Ellie will\u00a0argue that \u2018austerity\u2019 has not taken hold in the UK as collective mood or atmosphere in the ways predicted by earlier commentators and will explore the notion of a set of gendered political responses to austerity.<\/p>\n
Dr Jupp’s\u00a0paper draws on examples of young women as housing activists and from fieldwork with migrant women in London to explore the potentials and limitations for forms of collective action and activism based on registers of vulnerability and trauma and everyday practices of care and coping.<\/p>\n
