Professor Katrien Devolder on why you're wrong about laziness

In an interview for the Academic Imperfectionist Podcast, Professor Katrien Devolder talks to Dr Rebecca Roache about why ‘laziness’ is more complicated than you thought.

Is it bad to be called lazy? Prince Harry thinks so: in his memoir, he suggests that it's better to called racist than lazy. But even if you wouldn't go that far, I'm willing to bet that you care deeply about not being viewed as lazy. Perhaps you've worked when you should have taken a sick day, said yes to things that you knew were a bad idea, or pushed yourself to burnout - all to avoid the L word.
