درباره این پادکست 🔗
Why do we work so long and hard?
This opening line from "The Problem with Work" by Kathi Weeks begins an investigation into our political and cultural relationships with the activity that occupies most of our time - work.
Join us, an organisational psychologist and a curator/cultural researcher, as we discuss Weeks’s book, unpacking her analysis of the “work society”, and “Postwork invention” through interdisciplinary lenses.
We will confront Feminist, Marxist, and Antiwork Politics traditions from the perspective of two apparently distant worlds: the office cubicle and the artist studio!
