Abstract

This paper explores the practices and labours undertaken by queer people to reproduce shared households in London, and the uneven power relations, histories and economic conditions mediating this replenishment. Through bringing feminist geographical engagements with social reproduction into conversation with queer geographies of urban space, the article argues for greater attention to the hard work of social reproduction undertaken by queer shared households, and to the value of this empirical area for broader understandings of reproductive labour amidst deepening economic precarity.
