Harry Pettit is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at Northumbria University in the UK. He is interested in the forms of labour that are emerging to sustain precarious urban life around the world, and how those labours feed into the production of new inequalities and forms of accumulation. Harry explores these empirical issues in the Middle East combining an ethnographic methodological approach with a conceptual focus on the grounded emotional and moral politics of new forms of labour. At the moment Harry is conducting a project on the emergence of platform or gig work across the Middle East.
