Kathi Weeks × Will Stronge
Summary
Kathi Weeks and Will Stronge are connected through intellectual influence and mutual endorsement. Will Stronge cites Kathi Weeks’ book ‘The Problem with Work’ as a major intellectual influence on him and his co-founder Kyle Lewis, stating: ‘I first found Kathi Weeks’ The Problem with Work in an Oxfam in Bath, in about 2013 … but it would become very influential for us.’ He further describes her as ‘basically the godmother of this recent crop of literature’ on postwork theory. In turn, Kathi Weeks provided a blurb endorsing Will Stronge and Kyle Lewis’s book ‘Overtime: Why We Need a Shorter Working Week’, writing: ‘In this terrific book, Will Stronge and Kyle Lewis present a remarkably clear and powerfully compelling case for shorter working hours as a path to greater sustainability, equality, and freedom.’ Weeks’ book is also listed among recommended readings in a podcast episode featuring Stronge about the same subject matter.
