Work, Employment and Society Conference 2016 | Leeds University Business School (LUBS), University of Leeds, 6-8 septembre 2016Deadline: 7th March 2016Like the journal, the conference is internationally focused and sociologically oriented, though it welcomes contributions from related fields.

The crisis has not led to any fundamental reappraisal of the nature of capitalism, or how to ‘govern’ it. For the majority in work conditions have deteriorated, while those without employment have been subject to ever more punitive sanctions. Inequalities are increasing and working lives becoming more precarious. The WES 2016 conference will bring together sociologists of work from across the globe to consider the crisis within, and the possibility of moving beyond, capitalist work relations.Lire la suite : WES2016_conference_CFP_070316
