Reviews

Winner of the Hart SLSA Prize for Early Career Academics 2018 and Winner of the Society of Legal Scholars 'Peter Birks' Second Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship 2018


This book should be required reading for all politicians, employment tribunal judges, and social care professionals because it provides a clear and coherent explanation of the consequences of contemporary neo-liberal moves to privatize care. Stories of Care is also a masterclass in the importance of socio-legal research, accessible to students and care professionals, grounded in a first-rate empirical, qualitative, ethnography. (Rosie Harding, Journal of Law and Society, Vol. 46 (1), March, 2019)
