It's fantastic to see just how much of a home @PolStudies has become for political theory! Thanks for your hard work @MattSleat.
As it is now less than a month before the new team take over @PolStudies, I thought I would take one last chance to highlight the many excellent papers I've had the privilege to accept over six years. So I'll be linking to several each day (in order of acceptance). Here we go:.

I am sorry to be missing this later this week, but if you are in London (and a political theorist) I cannot recommend this event or the book enough.

A good time to also mention that @SUNYPress has a 50% sale on until the end of the month, making a very expensive hardback just an expensive one (paperback is to come I believe). Find the code and search for the book here:

I reviewed a few chapters from this and I’m really happy it’s now published. This textbook is essential for anyone who has been longing for more diversity in their political theory teaching materials. A huge contribution to our field!.

Julie Rose's 'Free Time' is really relevant to this but doesn't feature in the post-work literature as much as it should (.

Interesting article! Putting aside the feasibility question, the possibility of time inequality encourages us to prioritise working time reduction over work-centric responses to problems of employment because it may alleviate disparities beyond work in addition to those at work.
Interesting: "household robots could also lead to “a rise of inequality in free time” - with only richer households able to afford the technology". Though the profit imperative may also delay their creation in the first place
