Forschung Ellen Rifkin Hill: Call for Papers

Das Schweizerische Sozialarchiv bereitet ein Buchprojekt vor, das vom Fonds "Ellen Rifkin Hill" gefördert wird.

Das Buchprojekt "Work in Progress. Arbeit in der Schweiz" möchte die Veränderungen der Arbeit, die heute vor allem im Zusammenhang mit dem gesellschaftlichen Wandel in der Spätmoderne diskutiert werden, in einer historischen Perspektive situieren. Am Beispiel der Schweiz werden neue Aspekte einer Geschichte der Arbeit thematisiert. Der zeitliche Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem 19. und 20. Jahrhundert.
