Professor Paul Apostolidis of The London School of Economics and Political Science will deliver a talk entitled, "Night Work and Racialized Social Reproduction," on Monday, May 5th. Prof Paul Apostolidis specialises in critical theory and integrating empirical inquiry into methods of political theory. A major arm of his research derives insights for critiques of capitalism and racial domination from fieldwork with Latinx migrant workers’ organisations and communities in the western United States. Precarious work-life and contesting precarity through popular education comprise key themes in his most recent research. Prof Apostolidis’s published writings explore prospects for deeper democracy and social solidarity through reflecting on this empirical work while engaging diverse 20th-21st century thinkers including Antonio Gramsci, Michel Foucault, Paulo Freire, Kathi Weeks, Judith Butler, Wendy Brown, Cristina Beltrán, and Lauren Berlant. His earlier research analyses the cultural politics of the US Christian Right through a critical approach derived from Theodor Adorno and he has written extensively in cultural studies, including on issues of gender, sexuality and power.
