We fear losing work, yet we dread the work we have - it’s the capitalist work paradox. But what if there was another way?
Join ecological economist Simon Mair (University of York) and the Grantham Centre for a fascinating discussion exploring the future of work – and how we can reimagine it to drive our environmental and social goals.
The challenge is to refocus the economy, such that it can recognise and value inefficient but socially useful forms of work. In doing this, Simon will demonstrate how these changes in the kind of work we do can support broader transitions and lead to a more sustainable future.
The event will include a drinks reception, audience Q&A, and an opportunity for informal networking and discussion following the talk.
A limited online attendance option will also be available for those unable to join us in person.
This event is part of the University of Sheffield's Rethinking Prosperity on a Finite Planet series.
