Women, Work and Value: Definitions, Approaches, Conceptual Frameworks

AHRC Network: 'Women, Work and Value in Europe, 1945-2015'

07.03.2014-08.03.2014, Bristol

This workshop will ask how we measure and define the value of work. How is work categorized (paid vs. unpaid, domestic/caring vs. work outside the home)? And how can we conceptualise the value of work (use value vs. exchange value, emotional, political, cultural, social values, value judgements etc.? Discussion will centre around position papers from scholars in a range of disciplines, kickstarting the interdisciplinary dialogue which will be at the heart of this network.

Labor Politics in the Oil Industry: New Historical Perspectives

CALL FOR PAPERS

Labor Politics in the Oil Industry: New Historical Perspectives

University of Padua, October 23-24, 2014
