  • Discuss both Ehrenreich’s and Bishop’s employment experience in terms of the positive and negative aspects of the work they undertook.
  • Using ‘Sociological Perspective’ and ‘Sociological Imagination’ as guiding concepts, how can we best understand both accounts of work experience?

  • Compare the ‘Research Methods’ used in both accounts.
