SUMMARY:All Work and No Play
DESCRIPTION:A workshop on the philosophy of work and time-allocation \n  \n16-18 September \, 2021 \nThe Future of Work and Income Research Network    (fwistandrews@gmail.com) \nCentre for Ethics\, Philosophy\, and Public Affairs \nDepartment of Philosophy\, University of St Andrews \nWorkshop to be held entirely online \nThursday 16th September \n\n\n\n10.30am\nWelcome and introdution to the Future of Work and Income Research Network\n\n\n11am – 12:30pm\nJonathan Wolff (Oxford University): Working at Home\, Socialising at Work\n\n\n2:30 – 4pm\nLisa Herzog (Groningen University): Bodies at Work\n\n\n\nFriday 17th September \n\n\n\n11am – 12:30pm\nDiana-Elena Popescu (Edinburgh University): Leisure for Every Body: Disability and the Four Day Workweek\n\n\n2:30 – 4pm\nJoe Ryle (4 Day Week Campaign): Has the time come for a four-day week?\n\n\n\nSaturday 18th September \n\n\n\n11am – 12:30pm\nOtto Lehto (KCL): The Technological Unemployment Hypothesis in the UBI Debate: A Critique\n\n\n12:30 – 2pm\nSimeon Goldstraw (Oxford University) Free Time Isn’t Working\n\n\n3 – 4:30pm\nBertrand Rossert (World Bank): Defining Work\n\n\n\n“8 hours labour\, 8 hours recreation\, 8 hours rest!” This was the slogan adopted by many labour movements in the nineteenth century\, when 16-hour working days were not uncommon. Marx believed that only part of the working day was required to supply workers’ consumption needs\, the rest going to support the consumption of idle capitalists. John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930 that a fifteen-hour working week was a close possibility\, requiring only that work was spread more evenly across the population. \n  \nAlthough less extreme than Keynes’s vision\, some activists today are campaigning for a four-day working week. The campaign has won some victories\, with the Spanish government launching an experiment with mid-sized companies last year and the Scottish government promising to try something similar. Besides economic questions about labour productivity and marginal returns\, there are deep philosophical questions around the allocation of time to work. We hope to address these in this workshop. Some examples are: \n  \n\nHow do we distinguish labour\, recreation\, and rest?\nShould time spend recuperating between physically exhausting tasks count as rest or part of labour?\nShould activities undertaken to ‘decompress’ after mentally or emotionally taxing work count as recreation?\nAre there important differences between relaxation activities and leisure activities?\nIn his 1966 essay\, “The Abolition of Work”\, Bob Black distinguished work from play in terms of the latter being voluntary – but what is the relevant category of “voluntariness” here?\nWhat about the allocation of domestic and caring labour? How does this play into patterns of gender inequality and other forms of social imbalance?\nIs time the right measure of the balance between work\, leisure\, and rest? What about intensity\, satisfaction\, etc.?\nIs flexibility in working time always a blessing\, or can it be a hidden curse?\nHow should we think about the allocation of working time among the population? Can some groups “steal time” from others? What about the allocation of time across generations?\n\nFor More Information\nAlex Douglas (axd@st-andrews.ac.uk)

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Kimberley Brownlee (University of British Columbia)
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: ‘Interactional Wrongs and Vices’\n\nABSTRACT: This paper explores a domain of action that we often regard as a minor moral matter\, the domain of ordinary interactions. Yet\, ordinary interactions are morally significant for two reasons: they are the primary vehicle through which 1) we show respect and disrespect for each other\, and 2) we either grease the wheels or put a spanner in the wheels of healthy human sociability. Interactional ethics concerns both our first-order conduct within a given interaction and our second-order management of our interactional lives. At both levels\, we can act well or badly and thereby do great good\, harm\, justice\, and injustice. This paper homes in on first-order and second-order interactional wrongs. It isolates distinct wrongs that we can do at each of the three key stages of an interaction – the initiation stage\, execution stage\, and conclusion stage – including\, notably\, engage in interactional outsourcing. It then examines specific second-order patterns of wrongdoing – interactional vices – that we can display as we manage our interactional lives.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Lisa Herzog (University of Groningen)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Big Data and the Risk of Misguided Responsibilization\n \nAbstract: The arrival of “big data” promises new degrees of precision in understanding human behavior. Could it also make it possible to draw a finer line between individual choices and circumstances that operate in the background? In a culture in which individual responsibility continues to be celebrated\, this raises questions about new opportunities for institutional design with a stronger focus on individual responsibility. But what is it that can be drawn from big data? In this paper I argue that we should not expect a “god’s eye’s view” on choice and circumstances from big data. “Responsibility” is a social construct that depends on the logic of different social situations\, as well as our epistemic access to certain counterfactuals (e.g. whether an agent “could have acted differently”). It is this epistemic dimension that changes with the arrival of big data. But while it might help overcome some epistemic barriers\, it might also create new problems\, e.g. because of polluted data. This is not just a theoretical problem; it is directly connected to questions about the regulation of the insurance industry\, for which “big data” has been described as a “game changer.” I argue that this development forces us to directly confront questions about mutualist versus solidaristic forms of insurance\, and more generally speaking about how much weight to ascribe to individual responsibility\, given all we know about unequal background circumstances.
