EP04: Part 2 - It can't be that bad: The real barriers to work

In episode 4, Part 2 of "It can't be that bad: The real barriers to work" episode, Anuradha details where we continue the exploration. Anuradha shares the 4 layers of systemic oppression and how those lenses shape our workplaces - through bias, attitudes, and policies. We look beyond the statistics and look at how the barriers impact workers and how the workplace is built on ableist, capitalist, colonial, and patriarchal tenets.

Before we consider solutions and glimpses of post capitalist and equitable workplaces in episode 5 and 6, Anuradha urges you to sit with the discomfort and unease with the realities of the current workplace. Check out episode 3 for Part 1 of this conversation.
