This Anthro Life

In this episode of This Anthro Life, host Adam Gamwell talks with anthropologist Claudia Strauss about how #AI, #technology, and the #postpandemic world are reshaping the nature of work in America. They explore crucial topics such as the impact of declining birth rates, an aging population, and restrictive immigration policies on labor markets. Drawing from Strauss’s book, What Work Means Beyond the Puritan Work Ethic, they discuss changing worker attitudes, the rise of #remotework and the #gigeconomy, and challenge the conventional narratives around the #workethic. Together, they delve into how anthropology provides unique insights into #workplaceculture, the human side of technology, and the evolving definition of a "good job" in the modern economy.I'm Adam Gamwell as a cultural anthropologist and award-winning media creator, I specialize in storytelling.
