The Fairness at Work Research Centre (FairWRC) Second International
Conference
11 12 September 2014
Reconstructing fairness?
The contested terrain of fairness and decency at work
The second international conference will build upon the success of our
2012 event, bringing together academics and practitioners to discuss
strategic issues on the subject of fairness at work.
Questions of fairness and decency over the last few years have become
the object of major political and ideological interventions in the midst
of economic crisis and change. There is an ongoing demand to deepen and
broaden the issue of fairness in work and employment and the questions
of equality, voice, health and their enforcement are seen as vital
to the shaping of work relations.
However, the ongoing challenges of increasing xenophobia, the
undermining of collective rights and attempts to harness fairness in
mainly business case terms
weakening its social agenda have led to very real tensions and
struggles over the meaning and purpose of fairness. The conference aims
to evaluate and discuss these issues through a range of research
presentations from academics and practitioners from various national
contexts.
The conference will include a series of notable plenary speakers:
Gerhard Bosch
(University of Duisburg-Essen)
Stephanie Barrientos
(The University of Manchester)
Colette Fagan
(The University of Manchester)
Paul Stewart
(University of Strathclyde)
Sara Charlesworth
(University of South Australia)
Tracey Warren
(University of Nottingham)
Dieter Zapf
(Frankfurt University)
