Biography
Nicholas Hookway is Senior Lecturer in Sociology within the School of Social Sciences at the University of Tasmania, Australia.
‘The analysis in Everyday Moralities is wonderfully clear and perceptive throughout, proving suitable for a wide audience, ranging from theorists of morality to digital ethnographers, along with graduate students investigating the resurgent sociology of morality. …a much-needed alternative to moral decline perspectives, demonstrating how late-modern subjects thoughtfully labour to craft moral worlds worth living in.’ – Matt Wade, Journal of Sociology
