***Apologies for cross-posting***

 

Work in the Global Economy is now available to read online! This interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal promotes understanding of work, and connections to work, in all forms and dimensions. The journal publishes papers that extend and deepen the connections between all aspects of the division of labour: from the production networks that underpin the global economy, to the gendered and racial divides that shape how work is allocated and organized.

The journal is associated with, and rooted in, the traditions of the International Labour Process Conference (ILPC). Like the conference, the journal adopts a pluralist approach to theory, method and discipline.

 

Read the inaugural double issue for free until 31 December

 

Read on for an invitation to our virtual launch event on 4 November.
