Abstract

Households are sites where a progressive politics of change towards sustainability can be nourished. Efforts to do so, however, must attend to gender dynamics. Our aim is to improve our understanding of how gender and sustainability intersect at the household level and engage with progressive politics in this context. To do so, we present a collaborative autoethnography focused on gender and sustainability in our household covering five years during which we experienced multiple lifecourse transitions. Building on this we answer two questions. First, how does the encounter between personal experiences and scholarship shape conceptual refinement? Second, how do personal experiences and scholarship combine to shape what we understand as progressive politics? This article not only advances the understanding of gender and sustainability in households and progressive politics in this context but also shows that collaborative autoethnography offers a valuable methodological toolkit for advancing research towards progressive politics.

我们家中的性别与可持续性：将经验、学术和进步政治联系起来的合作民族志

家庭是可以滋养向可持续性转变的进步政治的场所。然而，这样做的努力必须考虑到性别动态。我们的目标是提高我们对性别和可持续性如何在家庭层面交叉的理解，并在这一背景下参与进步政治。为了做到这一点，我们提出了一个合作的民族志，重点关注我们家庭中的性别和可持续性，涵盖了五年，在此期间，我们经历了多个生命历程的转变。在此基础上，我们回答两个问题。首先，个人经历和学术之间的相遇是如何形成概念提炼的？其次，个人经历和学术如何结合起来，形成我们所理解的进步政治？本文不仅在这一背景下推进了对家庭和进步政治中的性别和可持续性的理解，而且表明合作民族志为推进进步政治研究提供了一个宝贵的方法论工具包。

期刊介绍： Families, Relationships and Societies (FRS) is a vibrant social science journal advancing scholarship and debates in the field of families and relationships. It explores family life, relationships and generational issues across the life course. Bringing together a range of social science perspectives, with a strong policy and practice focus, it is also strongly informed by sociological theory and the latest methodological approaches. The title ''Families, Relationships and Societies'' encompasses the fluidity, complexity and diversity of contemporary social and personal relationships and their need to be understood in the context of different societies and cultures. International and comprehensive in scope, FRS covers a range of theoretical, methodological and substantive issues, from large scale trends, processes of social change and social inequality to the intricacies of family practices. It welcomes scholarship based on theoretical, qualitative or quantitative analysis. High quality research and scholarship is accepted across a wide range of issues. Examples include family policy, changing relationships between personal life, work and employment, shifting meanings of parenting, issues of care and intimacy, the emergence of digital friendship, shifts in transnational sexual relationships, effects of globalising and individualising forces and the expansion of alternative ways of doing family. Encouraging methodological innovation, and seeking to present work on all stages of the life course, the journal welcomes explorations of relationships and families in all their different guises and across different societies.
