This piece in @newlinesmag puts my Greek family migration story alongside stories of Mexican migration to find sources of fellow feeling and understanding of sharp differences @lea_ypi @JeanneMorefiel1 @CBeltranNYU @james_muldoon_ @Jodi7768 @NDLON https://t.co/JTPK4I0Yuz

[New Lines Magazine @newlinesmag]

NEW: Amid talk of migrants “poisoning the blood of our country,” @apostopc reflects on his family’s migration from Greece to America and challenges his fellow “white ethnics” to see traces of the familiar in the journeys of today’s migrants. https://t.co/uPsLNtXSVe

Contemporary echoes of Marx's 'working day' chapter: child labour abounds in the US today, with the worst violations (but least detected) at night @BrunoLeipold @james_muldoon_ @Jodi7768 @AAzmanova @NDLON https://t.co/J7NKM2leou

[Paul Apostolidis @apostopc]

My new EJPT article reads Marx's working-day chapter as exploring capital's attack on working-class social reproduction via the theme of night-labour @lea_ypi @BrunoLeipold @DrDuncanBell @JeanneMorefiel1 @stevenmklein @Jodi7768 @james_muldoon_ @AAzmanova

Lois McNay argues powerfully for a heightened role for oppressed people's 'direct experiences' in critical theory in The Gender of Critical Theory. See my CPT review @DrDuncanBell @AAzmanova @lea_ypi @james_muldoon_ @JeanneMorefiel1 https://t.co/HTUeP45sj7

[Paul Apostolidis @apostopc]

New article! @james_muldoon_ and I examine experiences of very low-paid digital workers whose precarious labour enables AI expansion but who don't see their activity as ‘real’ work. Check it out @JeanneMorefiel1 @LSE_poty @DannyPostel @Jodi7768 @AAzmanova https://t.co/ESQn5x9FXO
