posted on 2021-02-01, 15:13 authored by Sarah Marie Hall, Helena Pimlott-WilsonHelena Pimlott-Wilson, John HortonWith this introductory chapter we explore the multitude of ways in which austerity and
economic crises are experienced in everyday life across Europe. The aim of the collection is
to connect and place into conversation emerging, cutting-edge social science research
evidencing everyday experiences of austerity and crisis across diverse European contexts.
With a pan-European perspective, the collection explores the geographically differentiated,
regionally distinctive and personally provoking nature of these experiences via case studies
from different states, regions, localities, cities and communities. In doing so, we aim to offer
key thinking and evidence of the multi-scalar nature of personal, local and family experiences
of austerity and crisis, and so too the relational impact of austerity and crisis on lived
experiences. We also provide a summary of the contributions within the collection and the
themes by which they are arranged.
