The social activist and acclaimed author of Radical Help Hilary Cottam returns to How To Academy to address one of the most pressing issue of our time: the future of work.

“Five years ago, I set out on a journey seeking the insights of everyday experts: those of us who work. I spent time too with business leaders, academic experts and policy makers. I asked a simple question, how could we re-design our working lives?” – Hilary Cottam

It’s time for a work revolution.

For decades, work has been debated and discussed as a narrow economic category. Instead, Hilary Cottam identifies work as a cultural force and one at the heart of good lives, strong communities and nations that have a sense of a shared destiny. Crucially, in these dramatic times, she will show how we can shape this force to meet technological change, our ecological crisis, and the challenges of the world’s deep injustices.

Our challenges – political, social, economic, and environmental – are tangled and growing. But so are the imaginative solutions. In this exciting, inspiring, and optimistic talk with Edie Lush, Hilary Cottam will show us how we could work differently and therefore live better.

Praise for the work of Hilary Cottam:

‘An act of radical hope, radical listening, and radical humility – Hilary Cottam challenges our most fundamental assumptions about our lives and society and most importantly, suggests how we can make things much better. I loved it’ -Rory Stewart

‘Brimming with ideas to transform the future, Hilary Cottam takes us on a fascinating journey to discover how to make work work’- Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics
