Brigid Schulte
Director, Better Life Lab
The coronavirus pandemic is completely upending the way we work, live, connect with one another and what we expect from our government, communities and each other. It’s all happening so fast that stress levels and anxiety are sky high. That’s why the Better Life Lab is hosting a weekly interactive conversation for people to come together, share stories and begin to make sense of what’s unfolding and what it could mean for the future of gender equity, health, how we work and how we live.
Crisis Conversations–Live from Better Life Lab is hosted by Brigid Schulte and produced by David Schulman.
As crisis has become the "new normal," there are new rules for so many things we took for granted just a few weeks ago. Some of the biggest changes have to do with work: How can people work remotely, flexibly — and effectively — in a crisis like this?
To take on these questions, Better Life Lab's Brigid Schulte is joined by:
- Dr. Heejung Chung, labor market and welfare state researcher and Reader in Sociology and Social Policy at the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research, University of Kent
- Cali Yost, Workplace Strategist with the Flex Strategy Group
- Katie Murray Kleeman, chemistry and AVID teacher
