Big thank you to @drjoehoover.bsky.social and @theorylab.bsky.social for inviting me to present my paper on Inequality, precarity, and domination in 'left behind' communities as part of their work in progress seminar series. Some great feedback to think about on the train back north...

Great to be in Birmingham for @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social conference. I'll be presenting a paper, written with Hannah McHugh, on 'Republican citizenship in an era of economic globalisation' on Wednesday as part of a @psapolthought.bsky.social panel on the politics of marginality & cosmopolitanism
