Extra episode 9: Labour

In this episode, Dr. Tessa Diphoorn and Dr. Brianne McGonigle-Leyh are joined by Prof. Dr. Rutger Claassen, a professor of Political Philosophy and Economic Ethics, and Dr. Martijn Smit, an assistant professor of Economic Geography, to discuss the concept of ‘Labour’.

What is their definition of the concept ‘labour’, and how do they apply it in their own research? How does this concept relate to ideas about innovation, spatiality, and (in)equality? For instance, what impact has remote working on our understanding of labour? Furthermore, they engage in discussions about the meaning and value of labour and provide insights into the historical perspective on the value of work within society.
