Über die Autorin/den Autor

Jones, Amy

Amy Jones is currently a Sociology University Lecturer. She completed her PhD in 2019, which explored the impact of neoliberalism and the 2008 recession upon older people living within a deindustrialised town, which serves as the basis for this book. She has also completed a Research Fellowship at the University of Exeter, wherein she worked on a Transforming Engagement´ project, which drew from the principles of C2 (Connecting Communities) and complexity theory, and measured (both quantitatively and qualitatively) the extent to which people in areas of deprivation experience feelings of isolation and loneliness. Amy´s areas of specialism are social theory, critical theory, research design and methods, ethnography, consumerism, inequalities, the economy, and community studies.
