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 me, an organizational psychologist and Benedetta, a curator and cultural researcher as we discuss Weeks’ book. We attempt to unpack her analysis of the “work society”, and “postwork invention” through our interdisciplinary lenses.

We confront Feminist, Marxist, and Antiwork Politics from the perspective of two apparently distant worlds: the office cubicle and the artist’s studio!
