The Many Futures of Work: Rethinking Expectations - Breaking Molds
This podcast connects many futures of work to the root causes of work inequities for both today and in the foreseeable future. It gives listeners an opportunity to hear fresh solutions from a diverse group of grassroots activists, policymakers, and academics. We cast a wide net to include voices that are not often heard in public discourse about the futures of work. The podcast draws from the book by the same title published in late 2021 by Temple University Press.

What are possible policy actions that can level the playing field for workers and non-platform businesses?
