‘Love In The Time Of Precarity: Reproduction and Intimacy among Millennials in Hackney’ is the title of my PhD which I carried out 2016-2019. The study looked into the ways that housing and employment precarity is experienced in different types of relationships among millennials living in rented accommodation in Hackney, where I have lived since 2013. The study focuses in particular on the way that reproduction is re/configured amidst economic constraints. I found the stories that emerged from interviews to be really fascinating, and chose to illustrate some of the excerpts so that I could create a more accessible format for sharing the project’s findings. Below are three examples. You can read more about the study and see more illustrations at Love In The Time Of Precarity.
