My academic work explores the legacies of second wave feminism and how it has reshaped the gendered experience of work and the paid workplace since the 1970s. My draft manuscript, Inventing the Working Parent, traces the politics that shaped the invention of working parenthood in Britain, from feminist campaigns for flexible work, childcare, and a more equitable division of affective labor in the 1970s, to the local government and corporate advent of ‘family friendly’ workplaces over the course of the 1980s and 1990s.

My academic journal article, “Forging a Politics of Care: Theorizing Household Work in the British Women’s Liberation Movement,” appeared in History Workshop Journal in April 2018.
