Emotional Labor at Home and Work


Listen Later

Why is it that certain tasks and interactions at work and at home leave us feeling drained? One hypothesis is that some responsibilities require more emotional labor than others. In this episode, Judith and Erin explore the different ways in which the term "emotional labor" has been evoked in the l decades since sociologist Arlie Hochschild first coined the term before considering how emotional labor plays a role in their personal and professional lives. 


This episode refers to the article "The Concept Creep of ‘Emotional Labor’" by Julie Beck posted at:
