Dr. Carrie Lane is Professor and Chair of American Studies at California State University, Fullerton, where she teaches about work, gender, and community. Her new book, More Than Pretty Boxes: How the Rise of Professional Organizing Shows Us the Way We Work Isn't Working, uses organizing’s rise as a lens for thinking through the nature of overwork and overwhelm in the United States today.
