  It is with honest bewilderment with our world and an instinct for sense making that Madison approaches her doctoral degree. A recent preoccupation of her bewilderment is the concept of the “post labour” world. A major proponent of this idea is well respected author and historian, Yuval Harari. He believes that computers and artificial intelligence will render humans economically irrelevant, and he is certain this will happen relatively soon. Madison is not completely convinced, but is intrigued. What will this “post labour” world look like, and mean for us humans? On a personal level, what does it mean to perform doctoral research in a field that may very well be obsolete in a century or two's time? In her eyes, the rapidity at which change will occur to the nature of labour, and in turn the study of industrial relations and human resources, is the ultimate academic opportunity. Madison locates her research within this emerging academic framework, where adaptability is of the utmost necessity. Therefore, she strives to combine the characteristics of her academic heroes: Judith Butler’s innovation, William Roche’s astounding breadth of expertise, and Gibson Burrell’s tenacious pushing of boundaries.
