It was a pleasure to appear on A is for Architecture, to talk about how domestic design relates to dominant family forms and reproductive labour. Listen here (or wherever you go for podcasts) www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FiV...

I had the pleasure to speak to the good people of @thesociologicalreview.org about care, social reproduction, and the labour of love. You can listen to the recording here! thesociologicalreview.org/podcasts/unc...

Hey y'all! This week we have @alvagotby.bsky.social interviewing @reproutopia.bsky.social about Sophie's Enemy Feminisms ( @haymarketbooks.org ), the potential for liberatory feminism, and the necessity of reckoning with reactionary feminisms. spectrejournal.com/feminism-is-...

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

Yet again, a Labour minister committing to being the worst www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

Thanks @adamzmith.bsky.social for having me on the Free Sex podcast, where we talk about why housing justice is important for liberating sex shows.acast.com/free-sex/epi...

Another lovely review of Feeling at Home! Get it from the @versobooks.bsky.social website to support an independent publisher blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofb...

A wonderful review of Feeling at Home in @tribunemagazine.bsky.social. It's amazing to have readers who really get what I tried to do in the book, and to see it inform discussions within the housing movement. @versobooks.bsky.social

Edinburgh friends, come along to this event I'm doing with the wonderful @living-rent.bsky.social on 3rd May! www.livingrent.org/in_conversat... @versobooks.bsky.social

This feels like one of the most bleak days in a long time. The end of the ceasefire, a new low for the UK government, escalating fascism in the US

Rethinking the Politics of Housing: a conversation between myself and @alvagotby.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zOH...

Come join @alvagotby.bsky.social and I for a discussion of housing and housing organising, Bristol 11th April www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/eas...

Today I had a small role in resisting an eviction, alongside comrades from London Renters Union. It took 7 hours but eventually the police and bailiffs backed down. It's so important to have these moments of practical solidarity and winning together!

Holly Pester has written a lovely and thoughtful review of Feeling at Home (and Holly's novel the Lodgers is wonderful too!) @versobooks.bsky.social www.frieze.com/article/alva...

For episode 1 of This Must Be The Place @claraish.bsky.social and @jackwitek.bsky.social spoke to writer and organiser @alvagotby.bsky.social about moving away from the private home, collective living & how vital care is in life and organising Feeling At Home is out now on @versobooks.bsky.social.

This is of course very good and you should all read it

An excerpt from my book Feeling at Home on the @versobooks.bsky.social blog! www.versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/...

New book by @alvagotby.bsky.social is out! "They Call It Love: The Politics of Emotional Life" was one of the most insightful reads of 2023 - now I’m really excited to read "Feeling at Home: Transforming the Politics of Housing" @versobooks.bsky.social

Feeling at Home finally came out this week, published by @versobooks.bsky.social. It’s about the everyday experience of housing, how different models of home shape our subjectivities, and how we could make a different kind of home together. Pictured here with my research assistant.

London friends, come to the launch of Feeling at Home today at Foyles! I'll be speaking about political meaning of housing and home with the amazing Lola Olufemi. @versobooks.bsky.social www.foyles.co.uk/events/alva-...

Tomorrow, @alvagotby.bsky.social launches her new book 'Feeling at Home' at Foyles on Charing Cross Road. I was so fortunate to supervise her PhD, & her work just goes from strength to strength! If you're in London, come & talk about the emotional politics of housing www.foyles.co.uk/events/alva-...

I spotted my new book Feeling at Home out in the world for the first time today, in the company of Pope Francis. It will be officially published on Tuesday (!) by @versobooks.bsky.social

A good piece by Nick Bano on why we need rent controls ASAP in England and Wales, and what might happen before the Renters Rights Bill becomes law www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

All eyes on Gaza. The ceasefire agreement doesn’t begin for 72 hours and Israel is on a killing spree.

The LA Tenants Union (LATU)'s response to the wildfires shows us the huge value of tenant organizing in the face of climate disasters. Networks of organized tenants are helping their neighbors, doing mutual aid, enforcing tenant protections, and demanding the policies tenants need to stay safe 🧵

A nice and short review of my new book Feeling at Home, which comes out next week! www.newstatesman.com/culture/book...

My new book Feeling at Home is out in just two weeks time, published by @versobooks.bsky.social! Foyles picked it as one of their top ten reads for January :) www.foyles.co.uk/further-read...

One weird thing about visiting family in Sweden for Christmas is seeing this unhinged pamphlet that the Swedish govt sends to all households, about what to do if there is a war or a crisis

A new article of mine for South Atlantic Quarterly, with some reflections on Sweden, the welfare state, gender and the family: read.dukeupress.edu/south-atlant...

London friends, I'm launching my new book Feeling at Home on Thursday 23 January, in conversation with Lola Olufemi. More info and tickets here: www.foyles.co.uk/events/alva-...

Conclave really is the papal election thriller I didn't know I needed in my life. A film full of old men navigating intrigue, gossip, and scandal, while wearing fabulous outfits

My book They Call it Love is so good it made it into the Verso 2024 highlights list, despite being published in 2023 www.versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/...

Excited to start a little reading group on Tracy Rosenthal and Leonardo Vilchis's Abolish Rent this evening. It's such a great book and it will be interesting to discuss what does and doesn't translate in the context of UK tenant organising.
