Hooked - Addiction, Capitalism, and Work in North America

by Dr. Jeremy Milloy

The concept of addiction has influenced how we understand our selves, each other, and our societies. We know much less about how addiction has shaped our workplace - and vice versa. Join Frost Centre SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow Jeremy Milloy for a discussion of his ongoing research on the relationship between addiction and our working lives.

Jeremy Milloy is a SSHRC post-doctoral fellow at Trent University’s Frost Centre for Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies. He has published on workplace violence, new forms of organizing, and service work in Labour/Le Travail and Left History. His first book, Blood, Sweat, and Fear: Violence at Work in the North American Auto Industry, 1960-80, will be published in Spring 2017 by University of British Columbia Press

Play as Time Well Wasted: Why Boomers Needn’t Act Their Age

by Dr. James Onusko

Dr. Onusko will provide an interactive and informal talk on some nascent research on why baby boomers should not abandon play. In the transition to becoming older adults, James  argues that boomers should embrace play in its many forms. Building on Nietzsche’s premise that “Play is the highest form of human activity,” James explores play in historical context, examines some of its meanings and forms, and advocates for the benefits of play, especially in local communities, for our wisest citizens.

James holds a PhD in Canadian Studies and is an Assistant Professor (Limited Term) in The School for the Study of Canada.
