Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Queer Potentials at Work with Olimpia Burchiellaro
Q: How can we reimagine the future of work from a queer perspective beyond corporate visions?
By focusing on post-capitalist imaginaries, queer economies, mutual aid, and democratic forms of workplace organization, we can imagine futures where emancipation arises from collective power and alternative economic arrangements rather than corporate metrics of inclusion.
Queer Potentials at Work with Olimpia Burchiellaro
Q: What are your reflections on the efficacy of EDI initiatives and why might they fail after training ends?
EDI initiatives often fail to translate training into sustained practice; they can be co-opted by management to maintain the status quo, and in some cases the existence of these programs can even obstruct action by presenting a veneer of progress without addressing structural power relations.
Queer Potentials at Work with Olimpia Burchiellaro
Q: What is meant by queer critical theory, and how has it evolved in relation to work and organization?
Queer critical theory offers tools to challenge how categories of gender and sexuality are socially constructed and politically maintained, while noting that much of the early work emerged from disciplinary boundaries and often focused on discourse and representation rather than the material organization of social life.
Pregnancy Loss at Work with Heidi Reed
Q: What should organizations consider when designing the future of work to include bodies and emotions?
Involve diverse bodies in design, ensure data represents people with pregnancy-related experiences, and create policies that accommodate grief and caregiving without stigma.
Pregnancy Loss at Work with Heidi Reed
Q: How has personal experience shaped your research direction?
Personal experience with miscarriage highlighted how medical information is sanitized and how online communities can provide pragmatic knowledge, influencing the focus on reducing stigma and improving practical guidance for workplaces.
