| Results and Impact | Radio 4 programme with Laurie Taylor broadcast 22 December 2010. This Christmas special discussed working-class families and perceived ideas of 'excess' and taste at Christmas. This emerged from the Fathers project whereby I looked at men's income and expenditure on their families and the ways in which men sought to compensate for their lack of earnings at Christmas. |
