welcome to work
Work is the heart of this project. The aim of this section is to develop a richly nuanced understanding of what people want out of work.
Work is different for every person, and everyone wants different things out of work. Whether in the form of fulfillment of one’s passions, or providing for one’s family, everyone has different aims in regards to the role work plays in their lives. This research project doesn’t seek to essentialize or reduce these multifaceted definitions. Instead, it seeks to create a space where readers can explore different experiences, reflect on their own perspectives, and recognize the validity of the variety of different viewpoints people have on work.
This section is broken up into three further sections:
- Why do people work?
- What do we want work to be like?
- What are the beliefs, pressures, and cultural norms that impact our perceptions of work?
Throughout this section, you will be able to flip through people’s responses to the big questions this section asks, and even add some of your own.
