In the class, he asked his students to finish the question \"Work is--?\" in six words or less.

He breaks down perceptions of work into five categories: work and time; the space workers occupy; the impact of work on our lives; the sense of purpose that motivates workers; and the people we work for, in all senses of the term. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Far-seeing and sympathetic, \u003ci\u003eWhat Work Is\u003c\/i\u003e merges personal experiences with research, poetry, and other diverse sources to illuminate workers' lives in the present and envision what work could be in the future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Bruno\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of labor and employment relations at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he also serves as Director of the Labor Education Program.
