THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast Ep. 160: Labor After Lockdown w/ Maria Repnikova and the Foreign Policy Crüe

The pandemic has transformed the way we think about work and labor globally. In the US, many employees are unwilling to return to service jobs that underpay and provide limited benefits. In China, there is a recent phenomenon called “Lying flat” whereby young people refuse to partake in “productive forces” of the party, and instead choose to settle for non-careerist but more relaxed lifestyles. At the same time, the pandemic has accelerated remote work that for many employees has also meant longer hours.   In this episode we engage with the politics of labor and what pandemic means to us as workers, consumers and citizens.   About our guest Maria Repnikova ( https://www.mariarepnikova.com/) Dr. Repnikova is an Assistant Professor in Global Communication at Georgia State University. This year she is a Wilson Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholar. In the past, Maria was a postdoctoral fellow at the Project for Advanced Research in Global Communication at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania. She received her doctorate (DPhil) in Politics at the University of Oxford where she was a Rhodes Scholar.   Thank you, guys, again for taking the time to check this out.
