What's Lefebvre got to do with it? | with Dan Wakelin

Chris and Ian are joined by Dr Dan Wakelin, director at workplace strategists HCG, for a fascinating chat about his doctoral thesis, 'Employee engagement in the post-Covid workplace'. The discussion explores both the topical content of Dan's research, and also the doctoral journey towards both his practical and theoretical 'contributions to knowledge'.
Key theories about transgressions (from human geographer Tim Cresswell) and the production of space (from French Marxist philosopier, Henri Lefebvre) take the stage, as Chris and Ian learn how post-pandemic hybrid working affects the design intentions and lived experiences of 'activity based working'.
So is Dan a heretic or a visionary? Join Chris, Ian and Dr Pinder in the reflection section to find out!
