The Danish school as a haunted house: Reforming time, work life and fantasies of teaching in Denmark
‘I get really mad, when people tell me that now we have to put things behind us and move on…I can’t!’.

Roundtable: Free work

This panel discussion took place at the ephemera conference on Free Work, in Berlin, May 11, 2011.[1] Three speakers, who each have conducted extensive research on the relation between freedom and work, were invited to briefly present their work and to engage in a discussion about the relation between freedom and contemporary work.
