CSWG "Work (Not?) in Progress" Seminar: Session 4 - Working Conditions
“Work (Not?) In Progress” Sessions
An opportunity to connect and discuss
The COVID-19 crisis has impacted all of us in a number of different ways, from our emotional and mental wellbeing to productivity and how we do research. The Centre for the Study of Women and Gender (CSWG) is launching bi-weekly “Work (Not?) In Progress” sessions to informally connect and discuss issues that are affecting our community in this uncertain time.
You do not need to RSVP. The Zoom link for the session will be sent to the CSWG mailing list on the day, so please keep an eye out for that. We ask that you do not share this link beyond our mailing list due to safety.
We welcome all members of our CSWG community to these sessions. We understand many of you are juggling work with other responsibilities at the moment, so we are happy for you to join the event with children or while doing something else.
Wednesday 15th July: Working Conditions
Now that many of us are “working from home”, our productivity may be impacted by factors such as caring, noise, loneliness, being surrounded by too many people or not enough people, (lack of) work space, managing time, managing and delivering teaching online, headspace and mental loads. It is also now emerging that the expectations and contractual working conditions are changing and possibly being contested. This is a space to discuss how these and other factors surrounding working conditions, and what we mean by “working conditions”, are affecting the CSWG community, and to share working and campaigning strategies.
