Part two of our long-awaited conversation with Angela McRobbie, pioneer of feminist cultural studies, covering her work since the early 2000s, the rise and fall of post-political post-feminism, New Labour, the revival of feminism after the 2008 financial crisis, neoliberalism and the politics of welfare. 

Jem recorded a 12-minute introduction for the benefit of anyone unfamiliar with Angela’s work or the context for some of the debates that she refers to, but you can always fast forward through that bit if you know all that already. 

We had a lot of problems with audio at Angela’s end, and then Jem had to edit this while on holiday, but we have really got it cleaned up as much as is humanly possible and everyone should find it perfectly listenable.
