A special congratulations is in order for the CWD’s Project Coordinator, Muriel Payraudeau, who recently received a Sun Award for her work managing numerous projects and events with patience, skill, and tenacity. Congrats on the recognition, Muriel! We are so lucky to have you on our CWD team.

This week, we wish our talented Project Coordinator Muriel Payraudeau farewell as she moves on from the CWD to work with our allies at SEIU-UHW in CA.

You will be greatly missed, Muriel, but we wish you nothing but the best in your next endeavor! ❤️💛

🚨 NEW: "Two Towns" — Sacha Hilhorst interviews 121 residents, civil servants & local leaders in two ex-industrial towns, Mansfield & Corby.

These towns haven't been “left behind” — but actively remade, fostering low-quality, insecure work. ⬇️

Our recent paper, in ASR: While many sociologists assume that people turn to their “strong ties” when they need a confidant, people are actually as likely to avoid as to talk to their closest friends and family.
