Re-thinking Work (Global and Local Ethnographies of Labour)

Re-think work imageThis research programme (2022 - 24) was headed by Dr William Monteith

Work as we know it is changing. The ‘re-thinking work’ programme seeked to establish an interdisciplinary conversation on work and its futures from a variety of different geographical locations and theoretical perspectives. Key themes included illicit work, green work, reproductive work and post-work.
