“I think our largely academic #faith and #work cohort needs to walk for a moment with #Simone #Weil, a #French #Marxist-friendly #intellectual who laboured on #factory floors, which, many scholars suggest, hastened her death through untreated tuberculosis and intentional malnutrition from fasting. Weil’s radical #solidarity with the factory workers sits uneasily alongside gatherings of faith and work leaders in carefully curated ecosystems of exposed brick and kombucha taps, where artisanal coffee flows and existential uncertainty lingers just beneath the surface. Across the noise and heat of the factory floor, this gaunt, intense woman turns and fixes her gaze on us. Her crippled frame stands as a living rebuke to every comfortable theory of work we tell ourselves.”
