22nd Annual International Labour Process Conference
5-7 April 2004 Call for Papers
The Conference
The International Labour Process Conference is one of the leading international
conferences on work and employment. It brings together academics and policy
makers from the sociology of work and employment, labour studies, business and
management, human resources management, industrial relations, organisation
studies and a range of other disciplines. In 2004 the International Labour
Process Conference moves to Amsterdam for the first time. The conference will
be organised by the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies of the
University of Amsterdam (AIAS/UvA).
The Themes
The conference organisation welcomes papers on a range of issues and
developments such as:
The restructuring of work
Employee participation and involvement
Skills and knowledge
Trade union strategies and organising
Gender, ethnicity and class at work
Resistance and misbehaviour
The nature and impact of information technology
Power and inequality in labour markets
Changing forms of employment relations
Public and voluntary sector work
Power, control and culture in organisations
Papers on the IT sector and on surveying workplace industrial relations and
quality of working life are particularly welcome this year. (Attached you will
find the Referees Comments in PDF format.)
The Papers
While the conference encourages a wide range of issues, perspectives and
methodologies, preference is given to papers that promote a critical
understanding of workplace relations, integrate empirical material with
theoretical argument, and make a contribution to the development of labour
process analysis. Papers must not have been previously published or presented
elsewhere. Prospective contributors are asked to send an abstract (appr. 750
words) of their paper to the conference organisers by 30th October 2003.
Decisions on acceptance will be given, following independent external
refereeing, by 1 December.
Selections of conference papers appear in edited collections, 16 books have
been published to date. The book series is now with Palgrave. Recent volumes
include Customer Service (2001), Managing Knowledge (2000) and Workplaces of
the Future (1998).
