Research
My research grapples with the social, economic, and political shifts stemming from mass unemployment, and the ways in which the future of work and welfare is being imagined 鈥� and transformed 鈥� in South(ern) Africa. I have approached this through a range of projects, including a study on how young people are making lives and livelihoods outside of wage employment, digital technologies and the changing nature of work, and popular demands and policy-making around more expansive cash transfers. In addition, my previous research examined political protests and the political subjectivities of unemployed young people.
Supervision:
Hannah is happy to supervise MA and PhD projects connected to work and labour, the social dynamics of money and cash transfers, and inequality.
