Collective Action in Jamaica and Argentina: Prospects and limitations
The ‘Alternative Organisations & Transformative Practices’ Research Cluster presents the first in its exciting new seminar series programme funded by Middlesex University Business School. Drawing upon research from Latin America and Jamaica, we ask what are the strengths and limitations of collective action within contemporary workplace and community development initiatives? Can collective action lead to more equitable, democratic outcomes, or even transform society? What may be the psychic and unconscious forces that may limit or drive collective action? We hope to draw lessons about how challenges to collective action such as the reproduction of power structures, under-participation or gender inequality might be overcome and how these collective experiences compare to more orthodox capital-labour workplace relations or traditional approaches to community development.
Speakers:
Dr Deanne Bell (University of East London)
“Trauma, Dominative Silence and Limitations to Collective Action: A Case Study from an Inner-City Community in Jamaica”
Dr Daniel Ozarow (Middlesex University, London)
“Islands of Socialism in a Sea of Capitalism: Argentina’s Worker-Recovered Companies as Sustainable or Transformatory Business Models?”
Chair: Dr Parisa Dashtipour (Middlesex University, London)
