CIRA 2016 conference | University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, May 31–June 2, 2016Deadline: January 15, 2016The theme of the 2016 CIRA conference calls attention to the workplace as a meeting place for several diverse disciplines of study.  The workplace is an important arena where employees go to earn a living, while employers seek to profit from their labour. It is where production is organized through cooperation, yet a key space for conflict. It is where social, cultural and religious norms are integrated, and a key vector of societal and global change. This year’s theme aims to encourage research on the workplace from fields which are different, yet complimentary, and even conflicting, such as history, sociology, women’s studies, management, economics, and policy studies.  Research submissions broadening our understanding of the workplace, issues in the workplace, management practices, societal impacts, the role of public policies in shaping employment outcomes, and the impacts of globalization and economic integration on the workplace are particularly invited.  In addition to submissions that reflect the conference theme, submissions on any other topic of interest within the broad and interdisciplinary field of work, employment, labour studies, human resources and industrial relations are welcome. Lire la suite : http://www.cira-acri.ca/new-page-1
