The New Politics of Home and Care: Housing, Gender and Care in Times of Crisis

The New Politics of Home and Care explores the implications of recent economic and welfare crises on both everyday lives and public policy. With an innovative focus to their research, the book dives into debates about social policy and welfare at times of crisis, with a particular focus on the United Kingdom. The authors take interdisciplinary cues from human geography, social policy, feminist economics and political theory to address crucial contemporary topics such as austerity, economic restructuring, worsening inequality and resulting issues of resources, rationing and affordability across key areas.
