Public lecture about creating meaning in work tonight at UPEI
| Alumni
Recent PhD graduate, teacher and author Scott MacMillan will give a public lecture called Meaning and Work: Blue Pill or Red Pill? An Existential Approach to Work on Wednesday, January 20, at UPEI.
Dr. MacMillan's presentation will take place from 7-8:30 p.m., in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, Don and Marion McDougall Hall. All are welcome to attend this free event.
Have you ever felt that you were living the wrong life, especially when it comes to your work? Despite significant societal improvements such as increased technology, medical breakthroughs, and greater longevity, life for many people is one of continual worry and anxiety. One of the major sources of discontent can be our work life; the choices we make about work and the subsequent experiences we have in the workplace. Dr. MacMillan will explore these issues and also share his PhD thesis research on work as job, career or calling and how people make sense of their work lives.
This lecture is sponsored by the U.P.E.I. Faculty of Arts, The Centre for Christianity and Culture at U.P.E.I., and The Centre for Spirituality and the Workplace at Saint Mary's University.
