Thanks to Alfred Deakin Institute for a seeding grant in 2020 that enabled us to do this research; small-scale grants within unis remain absolutely vital & increasingly hard to access x.com/_rosebutler/st…

Obliviousness to class in hiring practices is rife in Aust media — great to see some attention to this: 'No major media organisations in Australia have any known established targets for socio-economic diversity, like those set by the BBC.'

In our research on cross-class relationships, asset wealth looms large in how people describe class & inequality. Look forward to talking about entanglements of these experiences with migration & intimacy tmw at the #ISAWCS23 panel on “Social & Spatial Mobility” ISA

We found similar results in our Sydney-based research but intersection with race was crucial: notably wealthy middle-class white parents adhering to ideas of children’s “natural ability” needing to be nourished twitter.com/c_j_pascoe/sta…

Really enjoyed sharing our Australia-based research on Love Across Class at #britsoc23 this week – part of a forthcoming book with Eve Vincent &
Melbourne University Publishing. Was such a great conference! Thanks so much to all involved in organising & hosting.

Fascinating paper from rose butler & Eve Vincent on love across class in Australia. (The use of humour really resonates for me!)
