- Heading Home is based on a three-year study that involved the collection and multi-method analysis of a large body of material including: 1) media and workplace policy representations of gender, work and family (advertisements, films, memes, news, television shows, social media, policy reports and political speeches); 2) statistical findings from an analysis of UK Labour Force Survey; and 3) 40 in-depth interviews conducted by the author. The writing of the book took two years, and involved juxtaposing the analyses of the three datasets to show how ideological discourses insert themselves and operate in people’s lived experience.
