Drawing on the field of cultural historical psychology and the
sociologies of skill and labour process, Contested Learning in
Welfare Work offers a detailed account of the learning lives of
state welfare workers in Canada as they cope, accommodate, resist,
and flounder in times of heightened austerity. Documented through
in-depth qualitative and quantitative analysis, Peter Sawchuk shows
how the labour process changes workers, and how workers change the
labour process, under the pressures of intensified economic
conditions, new technologies, changing relations of space and time,
and a high-tech version of Taylorism. Sawchuk traces these
experiences over a seven-year period that includes major work
reorganization and the recent economic downturn. His analysis
examines the dynamics between notions of de-skilling, re-skilling,
and up-skilling, as workers negotiate occupational learning and
changing identities.
