Dear Colleagues,

The deadline for abstract submissions to this year's Work, Employment and Society conference has been extended to the end of this week. A number of colleagues experienced problems submitting their abstracts on Monday due to the sheer volume of submissions - we have had over 400 so far. We are therefore allowing a little more time. Please let any interested colleagues know.

Best wishes

Mark

Abstract submission Extended to 11 March

Work, Employment and Society Conference 2016

'Work in Crisis'

Dates: Tuesday 6 – Thursday 8 September 2016 (Postgraduate Workshop: 5 September 2016)

Venue: University of Leeds

The BSA and the Work, employment and society Editorial Board are pleased to announce that the WES Conference 2016 will be hosted by the University of Leeds. Like the journal, the conference is internationally focused and sociologically oriented, though it welcomes contributions from related fields.

The conference comes at a critical time for the study of work internationally. The impact of the global financial crisis has not only been profound, but enduring. The crisis has not led to any fundamental reappraisal of the nature of capitalism, or how to ‘govern’ it. For the majority in work conditions have deteriorated, while those without employment have been subject to ever more punitive sanctions. Inequalities are increasing and working lives becoming more precarious. The WES 2016 conference will bring together sociologists of work from across the globe to consider the crisis within, and the possibility of moving beyond, capitalist work relations.
