COVID-19 special: Eric Klinenberg - Alonement

What this episode covers

How will we live and spend time alone after COVID-19? I interview Eric Klinenberg, sociologist and author of 'Going Solo', about how our attitudes towards solitude might shift in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. What are the unique challenges towards valuing alone time in an age of social distancing? How will our romantic relationships change? Will companies push their employees towards remote home-working? And will it now be harder than ever to differentiate between alone and lonely? These are all questions we discuss in this special, timely episode of the Alonement podcast.**Eric Klinenberg’s book, ‘Going Solo’, is available to order online from Amazon and from all good bookshops. You can also buy his latest book, ‘Palaces for the People’.**Twitter: @ChezSpecter @EricKlinenberg**Instagram: @ChezSpecter @alonementofficial Hosted on Acast.
