- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph studies the representations of office work in contemporary novels from the UK, North America and India. It explores how different national traditions for thinking about labour produce different fictional depictions of work practices. It meets the criteria for double-weighting in that it is a longer-form output that demonstrates sustained research effort; it draws on a complex range of sociological and theoretical writing about the changing character of labour in the contemporary period; it is an extended piece of research that examines the theme of office work through different theoretical perspectives, and a range of different national contexts.
