Work.Work.Work.
Hosted by Dr Peter Ghin, Work.Work.Work. expertly guides you through people's lived experience of the modern workplace. We explore the way work is changing, and more importantly, how people are experiencing those changes. And we're not just talking about major technological shifts, but the nitty gritty, day to day stuff that can make our work a labor of love, and sometimes not so much with the love. Our research collective represents disciplines as diverse as law, computer sciences, human geography, sociology, indigenous leadership and organization studies. We’re an eclectic bunch, and we hope that our diversity of thinking will bring you a different take on not only what the future of work looks like, but what it feels like to be a worker in an employment landscape that has never felt more filled with possibilities and so terrifyingly dystopian at the same time. In our first season, we'll be looking at the legacy effects of the pandemic on the way we work. We’ll be talking to people about how the pandemic changed the way we dressed for work, what the post pandemic landscape looks like for young people, and how COVID-19 and specifically long-COVID has shone a spotlight on a previously overlooked category of workers, that is people living and working with long term health conditions.

Have you found yourself shunning tight-fitting clothing since the pandemic? Are you spending your entire working life in ‘athleisure’ wear?

And our wardrobes adapted to the lockdown era with comfort favouring formality. In this episode, we explore the complexities of ...
Back in 2007 there was this thing called the Global Financial Crisis – you might have heard of it. It had a massive impact on the lives of many young people who were at the very beginning of their working lives, and we didn’t really understand the full scale of that impact until years later.
