Never Work Talks: Amelia Horgan, Nicole Mayer-Ahuja

The event kicks off on June 24 with a look at a possible future and the question of what a “post-work” society might look like—a world, in other words, in which work is organized very differently and no longer forms the center of our identity and social organization.

On June 25, philosopher and author of *Lost in Work* (2021) Amelia Horgan will speak alongside Nicole Mayer-Ahuja, sociologist and author of, among other works, *Power at Work: A Global Perspective on Control and Resistance* (2021, co-edited with Marcel van der Linden) and *Class Society Acute: Why Wage Labor Divides – and How Things Could Be Different (2025), in a keynote discussion about the realities of today’s working worlds under capitalism, about contemporary class society and the divisions that wage labor brings with it—and about the potential of resistant laziness and sometimes unexpected alliances.
