*"Is meaningless work a scourge of our times?"* Nicholas Smith (MQ) 1-2pm, Tuesday, 6th October Building W3A, Rm 501 (Blackshield Room) Abstract: Many social theorists and social philosophers take it for granted that meaningful, fulfilling work is a rare commodity nowadays. Some take the scarcity of meaningful work, and the degraded activity most people have to do to earn a living, as a terrible indictment of modern society. But recent large scale, sophisticated attitude surveys seem to contradict this assumption, in recording high levels of job satisfaction, not just on a one-off basis but consistently. Do such findings debunk old assumptions about the scourge of meaningless work? I take a closer look. Feel free to bring your lunch.
