Burnout, automation of work, gender inequalities, the explosion of precarious workers are just some of the worrying troubles of work today. So they call for innovative solutions.

Autonomy is the most progressive independent think tank in Great Britain with one focus: work. They provide necessary analysis, proposals and solutions with which to confront the changing reality of work in society today.

JULIAN SIRAVO is an Architect and Urbanist from Rome, Italy. In his work Julian has explored automated construction, ideas of post-familial domesticity and socialized care-work. His research for Autonomy focuses on aging populations and the future of care, on logistics and workspace.

KYLE LEWIS is a co-founder of Autonomy and an Associate Lecturer in the Health and Social Sciences department at the University of the West of England. With Will Stronge, he is currently co-authoring a book on the radical history of the shorter working week (Verso, 2019).
