ALT Cover of the thesis in a canvas print format ‘The politics of disablement & precarious work in the UK: prefiguring a non-productivist future’ A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Artwork by William Estrada (reproduced here with permission). Description: the artwork features a landscape with sillhouettes of people sitting around a fire in a forest. There are four colours used in the piece: black for some trees and all people, blue for most other trees and parts of the sky, white for the rest of the sky, and red for the fire. Its smoke forms the shape of a heart. At the bottom there’s the text: we rest so we can build. Underneath: University of Birmingham; Supervisory team: Dr Emma A.
