Did you know? 1 in 4 London school playgrounds has air pollution levels above legal limits. CHERISH is the first UK study to examine how air pollution, like outdoor PE, affects children’s lungs. Interested? Get in touch: www.qmul.ac.uk/cherish/ @qmul-wiph.bsky.social @qmulfmd.bsky.social

In May, the UK govt announced the biggest overhaul to the welfare system in over a decade. A million people could lose disability benefits under the proposed changes. Why does it matter? anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @qmul-wiph.bsky.social @anthropologia.bsky.social

Living “Out of the Loop”: Unemployment in the Context ofLong-Term Illness

ABSTRACT: This article is part of the special issue “Laboring from Ex- Centric Sites: Disability, Chronicity and Work” (title of SI; AWR July2025; 46(1)) edited by Giorgio Brocco and Stefanie Mauksch. This paper examines the experiences of work and unemploymentamong residents of an East London borough living with multiple long-term health conditions. Through ethnographic research,we explore the psychopolitics of unemployment in an urban setting, focusing on the cyclical relationship between (un)employment and (ill-)health. Our findings show the double bind participants often experience regarding work: while they desired employment and could only imagine a fulfilling life through work, they found it impossible to remain in most workplaces they had experienced, as these environments worsened their health conditions. This contradiction created a sense of existential stuckness among our study participants. Additionally, our analysis highlights the moral and bureaucratic challenges involved in managing unemployment. The benefit assessment process, combined with social isolation, often reinforced a chronic identity among long-term unemployed participants, leading to a diminished sense of their own capabilities. By theorizing the seduction of labor in contemporary societies as a distinct form of psychopolitics inherent to neoliberal governance, we aim to highlight the troubling pressure governments place on individuals to work, even under conditions of long-term illness.

Ok, folks, bear with us - this is the first video we're posting to BlueSky so the format may not be quite right... but it's Professor Sarah Finer and Dr Moneeza Siddiqui discussing their findings, so it's worth it!
