Ep 10 | Hello! ... Do we know each other? | A talk about a platforming woman in North-Western Romania | Nightworkpod
This Nightworkpod episode is based on a talk centred on the experiences of a platforming woman offering ‘alternative transport’ services with Bolt, Romania. The talk focuses on one day in the life of S. a Bolt driver.
"In July 2021, S. switched from the long hours of international driving between Oradea and Milan, to offering 'alternative transport' services on a 2km radius and four rides per hour (during high demand or 'red code' time)."

Web: Nightworkshop | A project set up to research nightwork communities in urban spaces
Follow me @tweetsfromdrjc | @anightworkshop

Ep 05 | A N.I.T.E. Talk on Embodied Precariousness | NightWorkPod
This podcast episode is based on a talk that I gave as part of Night Modes panel, a NIGHT SCENE Virtual event by UCL Urban Laboratory (London, 2020). The episode is complemented by a video recording, which you can watch here. This talk is about the embodied precariousness experienced by migrant nightshift workers. The findings of this research result from a night ethnography that I did in 2015 in a fruit and vegetable market in Leyton, East London. This presentation, nonetheless, was (video)recorded during the full pandemic lockdown 2020. Apologies for the silence breaks due to the online recording quality.
Special thanks to Prof Ben Campkin and Jo Marshall, both associated with UCL Urban Laboratory for organising this exciting round of presentations, as part of the NIGHT SCENES event series. To watch and listen to the other guest's talks (by DJ Ritu and Rob Shaw) on the Night Modes panel click here.
More about Night spaces: migration, culture and Integration in Europe (NITE) will entail an ambitious programme of community co-designed cultural events and activities, and close engagement with policy-makers, with the aim to positively influence policy approaches on night-time economies, helping to release the potential night spaces offer in creating more inclusive cities. Authorities have historically wrestled with the issue of night-time control, and the hours after dark are often still perceived as harbouring threats to public order and potential criminality. However, current policy attention to night-time urban economies, exemplified by the creation of the office of Night Mayor in Amsterdam (2014) and Night Czar in London (2016) illustrate the increasing interest in the potentialities of the urban night. NITE will contribute with otherwise overlooked evidence on the production, experience and narration of migrant urban night spaces, in their material, symbolic and virtual dimensions. The project brings together five parallel sub-projects mapping night spaces in eight cities in the Netherlands, Ireland, UK, Germany, Denmark and Portugal. Read more ...
Ep 04 | In conversation with Emeritus Prof Marion Roberts, University of Westminster | NightWorkPod
Time: 21’45”
Date: Nov 2018
Place: Interview recorded in Sofia, Bulgaria. Produced in London @anightworkshop
Guest: Marion Roberts, Professor in Urban Design, University of Westminster | UK
Synopsis: In this third and last episode of the series called “London the Glocturnal City, and its 'other workers' “our first guest, Marion Roberts, Emeritus Professor in Urban Design at the University of Westminster talks about her invested interest and research that she has carried out on various themes related to the night-time city since 2001. Currently she serves on the board of Data and Research sub-committee of the Greater London Authority, the sub-committee on London's night-time commission. Roberts and colleagues (2018) have published a report on the scale and importance of London’s Evening and Night Time Economy that was commissioned by the Greater London Authority, April 2016. The authors (Roberts et al, 2018) report provides a snapshot of London’s evening and night-time economies. It scrutinises the regulatory policies of licensing and planning, investigates crime and anti-social behaviour and drills down into the economic contribution of night-time activities. These outputs helped inform and shape the Greater London Authority’s policy and vision of London as a 24-hour City - 24-hour London – and subsequent publication, From Good Night to Great Night: A Vision For London as a 24-hour City.

Teaser Season 2 | NightWorkPod
Welcome to the hidden world of researching the night. Are you a student or seasoned researcher who wishes to take on the challenge to research at night? Or simply curious about the invisible lives of those up and working all night while the rest of us sleep? In this brand new series, I will be sharing with you my fieldnotes, headnotes, audio recordings and video logs on how I crafted this nocturnal ethnography about the people working all night at New Spitalfields the fruit and vegetable wholesale market, in East London. These are just some of the topics that I'll be covering. Basically, in series 2 of the NightWorkPod, I will be talking about my research while I am both the researched and the researcher.
