States of Work: Visions and interpretations of work, employment, society and the state 3-5 September 2013 University of Warwick

The British Sociological Association and the Work, Employment and Society Editorial Board are pleased to announce that the WES Conference 2013 will be hosted by the University of Warwick. Like the journal, the conference is sociologically oriented, but welcomes contributions from related fields.

The conference has an international focus and comes at a critical time for the study of work. Over the few last years, unprecedented state intervention in the economy and subsequent radical reform plans for the public sector and the welfare state have raised new questions on the ways work is socially regulated: the WES 2013 conference will bring together sociologists of work from across the globe to assess the evidence and consider the theoretical implications of changing relations between work, society and the state.

Confirmed speakers: 
  • Micheal Hardt (Duke University)
  • Han Dongfang (China Labour Bulletin)
  • Ruth Milkman (City University of New York) 


Post-graduate workshop: Monday 2nd September 2013 


Deadline for abstracts: 19th April 2013

18/1/2013

AIRAANZ Sponsored Workshop Perth, 27-28 May 2013    

You are warmly invited to participate in this event. There are no registration fees. We encourage all AIRAANZ members to consider attending, especially those based in Western Australia. In addition, those interested in work and employment issues from relevant disciplines (e.g. law, sociology, geography, economics) are welcome. Please inform your colleagues and postgraduate students of this event. You do not have to be a member of AIRAANZ in order to attend.

Aim: To address the employment and workplace issues associated with the resources boom in WA. In particular we will look at new (and more traditional) issues linked to the segmentation of the economy and the workforce; restructuring the state; the gender wage gap; uneven development; employment and social factors facing remote and indigenous communities; the use of immigrant labour and innovative labour practices (e.g. FIFO and 457 visas); skill development; distributional issues; and industrial relations challenges around OH&S, bargaining, union recognition and organising in remote locations.

Purpose: To bring together academics, practitioners and policy advisers to workshop the issues faced in WA – notably whether the issues and potential solutions “are different” from the rest of Australia. We are soliciting participation, organising keynote presentations and plan to have a journal special issue and/or a book linked to the presentations/papers.

Location and Dates: Graduate School of Business, Curtin University, Murray St, Perth, May 27-28 2013; Commence: lunchtime on 27 May; Finish: mid-afternoon 28 May. A cocktail event for the workshop will be held on May 27 at 6pm.
