The academic wife: who is she today?
<p>In Episode 6 we’re talking about contemporary gendered inequalities of academic labour. Our guests are Katherine Twamley, Professor of Sociology at UCL’s Social Research Institute and Charlotte Faircloth, Associate Professor of Social Science also based at UCL’s Social Research Institute. As well as discussing their recent study exploring how families with children experienced the COVID-19 pandemic which lifted the curtain on gendered dynamics underpinning everyday life, we’re getting their take on what it’s like to be an ‘academic wife’ today.</p><p><b>Credits</b></p><p>Guests: Katherine Twamley and Charlotte Faircloth<br/>Hosts: Ros Edwards and Val Gillies<br/>Producer: Chris Garrington<br/>Music: The Beat of Nature, Olexy <br/>Artwork: Krissie Brighty-Glover</p><p><b>Guest Bios</b></p><p><a href='https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/31056-katherine-twamley'>Katherine Twamley</a> is a sociologist and founding Programme Director of the UCL BSc Sociology undergraduate programme (2018-2022).

Slivers and footnotes: recognising wives and women in sociology
<p>In Episode 5 we’re talking about the contribution that wives have made to the discipline of sociology in the past and how this has helped to shape the sociology of the present. <br/><br/>We’re joined by Lebogang Mokwena, Lecturer in the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Cape Town, and John Goodwin, Professor of Sociology and Sociological Practice at the University of Leicester. <br/><br/>Lebogang’s work intersects cultural and historical sociology, and as well as work on the cultural, economic and global histories of objects, she has studied the early twentieth century career of the sociologist Sol Plaatje. <br/><br/>John has a broad interest in sociology as a craft and skill, and, of particular relevance to this discussion, has researched the sociologies of Pearl Jephcott and C. Wright Mills. <br/><br/><b>Episode credits</b><br/><br/>Guests: Lebogang Mokwena and John Godwin<br/>Hosts: Ros Edwards and Val Gillies<br/>Producer: Chris Garrington<br/>Music: The Beat of Nature, Olexy <br/>Artwork: Krissie Brighty-Glover<br/><br/><b>Episode Resources</b></p><ul><li><a href='https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21582041.2018.1470329'>“Searching for pearls: ‘doing biographical research on Pearl Jephcott”</a> <b>–</b> John Goodwin</li><li><a href='https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0038038514530536'>“Pearl Jephcott: The legacy of a forgotten sociological research pioneer”</a> <b>–</b> John Goodwin and Henrietta O’Connor</li><li><a href='https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9781003317777/married-women-working-pearl-jephcott-nancy-seear-john-smith'><em>Married Women Working</em></a> <b>–</b> Pearl Jephcott</li><li><a href='https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/White_Collar.html?id=TXdLAAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y'><em>White Collar: The American Middle Classes</em></a> <b>–</b> C.
