What work do we value, and why? And what traces does work leave on the body?

Open now at Wellcome Collection, until April 2025.

I can't believe the institutional violence being leveled at sociology in Goldsmiths. Personal costs to colleagues are primary of course, but the collective attack on such a vital centre of the discipline is something to reckon with collectively too. Solidarity to all affected.
