SASE Network K: Institutional Experimentation in the Regulation of Work and Employment - Kyoto - 23-25 June 2018
Invitation to submit a paper proposal to SASE's newest network, SASE Network K "Institutional Experimentation in the Regulation of Work and Employment", which will take place from 23 to 25 June 2018 in Kyoto Japan: https://sase.org/event/2018-kyoto/.
Building on our SASE mini-conferences over the last four years, this newest of SASE networks is now seeking paper proposals for the annual SASE (Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics) conference.
In order to construct the program, we are suggesting a focus on one or the other of the following three themes:
1) Papers and sessions about the re-ordering of regulation of work and employment within and between different arenas of regulation (firms, markets, state, collective representation, firms/sectors).
2) Papers and sessions with a specific focus on the impact of changing forms and modes of regulation on equality, democracy and justice at work.
3) Papers and sessions about examples of institutional experimentation and their impact.
Ability to link your contribution to one or the other of these three general themes will help to build a stimulating and more coherent program. Of course, it is also possible submit on other themes within the remit of the network (see below). This call for papers is open to all researchers. Given the level of interest in attending the Network K sessions, please give a good description (500 words) of what you have in mind.
Submissions: Individual papers and session proposals must be submitted exclusively to the attention of Network K (to be specified) through the SASE website: http://sase.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/SASE-Submitting-a-Proposal.pdf. The Call for Papers is nominally open until 8 January 2018 but is likely to be extended for the customary 10-14. Please do not hesitate to contact any of the network organizers or the CRIMT Scientific Coordinator about ideas for the Network K sessions.
About SASE Network K: This network focuses on making work better through actor experimentation with institutions to regulate work. Major fault lines of change are affecting how people experience work, participate in their communities and live their lives. Digital transformations, changes in the role of the state, the unbundling of firms, the growth of global production networks, transitions to sustainable development, and shifts in identity, solidarity and values are all transforming work. Institutions for the regulation of work seem out of synch with people’s experience. Whereas there is an aspiration for productive, innovative, healthy and inclusive work, in which individuals live free from excessive insecurity, exercise control over their working lives, and contribute to their workplace and society – what can be labelled better work in the broadest sense – a different picture of fragmented work and disjointed communities emerges from current changes. Yet, these changes also open up space for experimentation. At many levels, in different national, institutional and organizational contexts, and in conditions of uncertainty, collective actors (firms, governments, trade unions, NGOs, community organizations) seek to engage in institutional experimentation to shape their work, economies and communities. This network welcomes research that contributes to our understanding of these processes.
