Working Bodies: Interactive Service Employment and Workplace Identities
Through a series of case studies of low-status interactive and embodied servicing work, Working Bodies examines the theoretical and empirical nature of the shift to embodied work in service-dominated economies.

- Sets UK case studies in the context of global patterns of economic change
- Explores the consequences of growing polarization in the service sector
- Draws on geography, sociology, anthropology, labour market studies, and feminist scholarship
