Join Dr. Rachel Meyer, Lecturer on Sociology (FAS), for an insightful discussion on the evolving landscape of contemporary work. This one-hour event explores the rise of ‘flexible’ employment and what it means for workers’ experience, identity, and well-being. She will examine both the structure and culture of gig work along with its possibilities and challenges. What are the key features of gig work? And who does it? Is gig work primarily found in the platform-based economy, or does it now characterize work more broadly? What are the social bases—and consequences—of gig work? Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of gig work and how it can inform our understanding of contemporary work and labor more broadly.
