Large scale changes in work and education are a key feature of
contemporary global transformations, with a pervasive politics that
affects people s experiences of workplaces and learning spaces.
This thought-provoking book uses empirical research to question
prevailing debates surrounding compliance at work, education and
lifelong learning, and emphasises the importance of debate and
dissent within the current terms and conditions of work. Examining
a number of types of work, including teaching, nursing and social
work, through a transnational research space, the contributors
investigate how disturbances in work both constrain and enable
collective identities in practical politics.
Structured around three main themes, the book covers:
- Disturbed work: with cases of occupational reform in nursing
and vocational teaching in Finland and re-regulating work in
Australia
- Disturbing work: examining contested occupational knowledge in
German school to work transitions, paraprofessional healthwork in
the UK, social work in Finland, and mobilising professional
expertise in US Community College faculty and Australian adult
literacy
- Transforming politics: negotiating an ageing workforce in
Germany, young adults moving through identities and careers,
building a politics of we through a global book project
An enlightening collection of international contributions, this
book will appeal to all postgraduate students, researchers and
policy makers, in education, work, and lifelong learning.
