Amelia Horgan is a philosopher, doctoral researcher and lecturer at The University of Essex and works for the UK-based think tank Commonwealth. Her research looks at work through the lens of a radical and feminist analysis of modern capitalism.

Her 2021 book “Lost in Work: Escaping Capitalism” has been hailed as a incisive account of why many people find work in our times so dissatisfying. Her work has additionally been featured in numerous media outlets such as The Guardian, Vice and Tribune Magazine.

This event will be hosted in hybrid format with in-person attendance at the Hertie School (room TBA) and online attendance via Zoom.
