| Transcending
Boundaries: Encompassing the Global Workforce

Call
for Papers

In a world
of changing political, economic, social and technological
boundaries, work-related issues are in a dynamic state of
transformation. People perceive work in many different ways:
as a livelihood, a means of identity and self-fulfillment, and as an
opportunity to make a difference. Thus work shapes and defines
peoples’ lives.
It shapes our norms, ideals, values and economic and
political structures. So
we ask: How do different cultural, national and occupational
segments of society conceptualize work? How do societies weigh work
in relation to compensation, quality of life, and social
stratification, and how is this changing in the new global economy?
In addition, in what ways does society deal with the “forgotten”
occupational sectors such as illegal or sweatshop labor, sex workers
and child labor?
