A Short History of Burnout w/ Hannah Proctor

This week on Macrodose Hannah Proctor leads us on an exploration of burnout. What are the origins of the term, and how can political movements and people on the frontline endure in the face of defeat.

Hannah Proctor is a Wellcome Trust Research Fellow at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, interested in histories and theories of radical psychiatry. She is a member of the editorial collective behind Radical Philosophy, and has been published in Jacobin, Tribune, The New Inquiry and elsewhere.
