In conversation with Maria Fusco

As part of my research into class, I’ve invited the award-winning arts writer Maria Fusco to Liverpool for a reading from, and discussion of, her recent book on working-classness.

Her new anthology, Who does not envy with us is against us (published by Broken Sleep Books, 2023) is a brilliant collection of essays about growing up working-class.

Fusco is a Belfast-born writer based in Scotland, and Professor of Interdisciplinary Writing at the University of Dundee, with a PhD awarded from the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at The University of Edinburgh. In 2025, she will be a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge, in the Centre for Visual Culture. Fusco has previously held posts at Goldsmiths College, University of Edinburgh and Northumbria University.

She writes fiction, critical and theoretical texts, and for opera and film. The Happy Hypocrite journal of art writing, founded by Fusco and published by Book Works, ran for twelve issues (2008-21).

Who does not envy with us is against us will be available to purchase during the event.
