The Problems and Possibilities of Graeber's BS Jobs with Matteo Tiratelli

In this episode, I talk to Matteo Tiratelli about bullshit jobs. Tiratelli recently published an article in the journal Catalyst exploring the problems and insights of David Graeber's well known theory Tiratelli is a lecturer at UCL's Social Research Institute where he teaches historical and political sociology. His previous research has focussed on the ideological transformation of European socialism, the history of rioting in Britain, and the political economy of crime. He is currently starting a project examining the evolution of the British prison system over the twentieth century. He has an article just out in Political Quarterly which critiques the widely held belief that most people have moderate political opinions with a few extremists at either end. He occasionally tweets @MatteoTiratelli.

Essential Workers and Labor Activism During the Pandemic: An Interview with Jamie McCallum

This episode, I talk to sociologist Jamie McCallum about his new book, Essential: How the Pandemic Transformed the Long Fight for Worker Justice. We talk about working conditions and unemployment during the pandemic, labor activism, and glimpses of working class unity. McCallum is a professor of sociology at Middlebury College. His writing has appeared in the Washington Post, Mother Jones, Dissent, and Jacobin, and his last book Worked Over looked at the quantity and quality of time we spend on and off the clock. You can get in touch with him through his website: https://www.jamiekmccallum.com/ [https://www.jamiekmccallum.com/].
