Deadline extended: New deadline for abstracts: 30th of April
The conference committee: Annette Kamp, Klaus T. Nielsen, Agnete Meldgaard Hansen & Sidsel Lond Grosen, Centre for Working Life Research, Roskilde University.
The Working Life Research Group at Roskilde University welcomes you to the 11th Nordic
Working Life Conference, 14th-16th of August 2024 at Roskilde University, Denmark.
Societal developments are reconfiguring taken for granted elements of working life and working life studies: Technologies such as AI and platform work, new valorizations of work as when the less work movement meet workfare, and macro developments such as labor shortage and new ways of organizing work-capital relations. All these developments challenge the doings and conceptualizations of working life. What happens to the workplace, traditionally a cornerstone of both development of and research on working life in the Nordic countries, when faced with these and other developments? What does it mean for workplace learning, collectivity, and democracy? What happens to the content and conceptualization of work, let alone professionalism, meaning and identity? And where does it leave industrial relations, collective rights, and labor market policy?
Such developments and questions motivate the theme of the NWLC2024 to be ‘Nordic Working Life at a Crossroad?’
Many researchers across the Nordic countries have framed topical discussions as conference streams. Please submit an abstract to one of the thematic streams or to the general conference stream and participate in the conference.
