Book Description

A provocative book arguing that the workplace is where we lea to live democratically. In The Pandemic Workplace, anthropologist Ilana Gershon tus her attention to the US workplace and how it changed—and changed us—during the pandemic. She argues that the unprecedented organizational challenges of the pandemic forced us to radically reexamine our attitudes about work and to think more deeply about how values clash in the workplace. These changes also led us as workers to engage more with the contracts that bind us as we rethought when and how we allow others to tell us what to do. Based on over two hundred interviews, Gershon’s book reveals how negotiating these tensions during the pandemic made the workplace into a laboratory for democratic living—the key place where Americans are leaing how to develop effective political strategies and think about the common good. Exploring the explicit and unspoken ways we are goveed (and gove others) at work, this accessible book shows how the workplace teaches us to be democratic citizens.
