I have decided to maintain a record of my working hours on this research project, as a part of an approach towards labour demystification and transparency that I’m trying to develop through this work.
I will be structuring my working time on this project in reference to my Barbican invigilation hourly wage, and highlighting through this record any instances when these two nominally separate labours take place concurrently. I will share a new labour diary each month.
L A B O U R D I A R Y
a-n Grant Value = £750.00
Barbican hourly wage = £10.53 (inc. holiday pay)
Therefore, target working hours on CAMERA CATALOGUE = 71 Hours, 13 Minutes and 8 Seconds
Labour highlighted in italics is labour carried while on shift, and therefore double-paid.
Labour highlighted with < is labour carried out while performing an unpaid labour commitment for the Barbican (commuting)
