Some of the people who’d had the most negative experiences working in culture were women of colour from working-class backgrounds. Dave O’Brien is a Chancellor’s Fellow in Cultural and Creative Industries at the University of Edinburgh. The whole discourse became how politicians had made it impossible for working class people to get creative jobs. For Art Prints please allow 5 working days for unframed prints and 15 working days for framed prints/ stretched canvas. The colour of a scarf, the accent of a conversation, can unite people or divide them, and the smallest detail can play its part in signalling who are allies and who are enemies, as much for elites as for citizens in a democracy.

So culture can be bad for you if you’re working in the cultural industries and you don’t fit that stereotype of a middle-class, White, male person.In doing so it highlights the experiences of working-class origin women of colour as central to how we understand inequality. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The patterns of inequality aren’t the same in all regions of England, but in many ways that reflects the large fraction of cultural jobs that are in London. Both groups are right, but the first group tends to have its voice heard more often than the second group. We should recognise that the unusual working patterns of a large number of people in the sector aren’t symptomatic of a stereotypical contract – although the precarity associated with cultural workers goes far beyond them – and defend and extend workers’ rights and conditions through trade unions. This case study of Britain’s vaccination system provides insight into the relationship between the British public and the welfare state, as well as contributing to the historiography of public health and medicine.If you’re White, you’re not disabled, you’re a man, and you grew up in a household where there was at least one adult working in a well-paid high-status job, culture’s great. It is experienced differently according to social class: for those from middle class origins, with the most economic, social, and cultural resources, unpaid work is an investment in their career.
