40227 - Opportunities and Barriers in Today’s World of Work: Democratizing Work and Ownership

Description

How can we reimagine the future of work to be more equal and equitable? How can workers democratize work and ownership? Drawing from their extensive research on enacting workers’ rights, democratizing work, and building sustainability communities, the panelists will reflect on the insights gleamed from studying real-world efforts to reimagine what is possible in the world of work. Topics will include the opportunities and challenges that workers, organizers, and activists face in making more equitable working arrangements; the intersections of race, nationality, class, and gender in shaping these efforts; and the key takeaways for future efforts to reimagine how work can be more inclusive, affirming, and equitable.
