Futures of Work

🔶New issue of Futures of Work.
This issue explores how borders shape workers’ lives, treating them not as neutral lines but as contested and ideological forces. The articles show how bordering practices structure labour mobility and inequality.

A woman's place was not in the home: Challenging the assumptions about women's work in early modern history
New research has revealed that women played a fundamental role in the development of England's national economy before 1700.
