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

This research programme is headed by Dr William Monteith.

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