Episode 126: Emotional Labor with Rose Hackman

On this episode, we host author and journalist Rose Hackman who shares more about her new book 'Emotional Labor.' Learn more about Rose Hackman: Rose Hackman is a British journalist based in Detroit. For the last decade, her work on gender, race, labor, policing, housing and the environment — published in The Guardian — has brought international attention to overlooked American policy issues, historically entrenched injustices, and complicated social mores. In 2015, while working as a features writer for The Guardian in New York City, Rose wrote a widely-circulated article on emotional labor, which radically changed her way of understanding how power, gender and race affect the most intimate ways in which people relate to one another. Her research on emotional labor in the eight years since — as an invisible, devalued, feminized and yet essential form of work — has sought to drastically reframe our view of women, work and the nature of persistent inequality. Rose grew up in post-industrial, francophone Belgium. She received her undergraduate degree in 2008 from University College London (UCL) and trained as a reporter in the Associated Press print and television newsrooms in Rome, Italy. In 2013, she graduated with a master’s degree in Human Rights from Columbia University, where she focused on social and economic rights violations in the United States.
