The condition of precariousness not only provides insights into a
segment of the world of work or of a particular subject group, but
is also a standpoint for an overview of the condition of the social
on a global scale. Because precariousness is multidimensional and
polysemantic, it traverses contemporary society and multiple
contexts, from industrial to class, gender, family relations as
well as political participation, citizenship and migration. This
book maps the differences and similarities in the ways
precariousness and insecurity in employment and beyond unfold and
are subjectively experienced in regions and sectors that are
confronted with different labour histories, legislations and
economic priorities. Establishing a constructive dialogue amongst
different global regions and across disciplines, the chapters
explore the shift from precariousness to precariat and collective
subjects as it is being articulated in the current global crisis.
This edited collection aims to continue a process of mapping
experiences by means of ethnographies, fieldwork, interviews,
content analysis, where the precarious define their condition and
explain how they try to withdraw from, cope with or embrace it.
This is valuable reading for students and academics interested in
geography, sociology, economics and labour studies.

The literature on gender and science shows that scientific careers
continue to be characterised - albeit with important differences
among countries - by strong gender discriminations, especially in
more prestigious positions. Much less investigated is the issue of
which stage in the career such differences begin to show up. Gender
and Precarious Research Careers aims to advance the debate on the
process of precarisation in higher education and its gendered
effects, and springs from a three-year research project across
institutions in seven European countries: Italy, Belgium, the
Netherlands, Iceland, Switzerland, Slovenia and Austria. Examining
gender asymmetries in academic and research organisations, this
insightful volume focuses particularly on early careers. It centres
both on STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics) and SSH (Social Science and Humanities) fields.
Offering recommendations to design innovative organisational
policies and self-tailored 'Gender Equality Plans' to be
implemented in universities and research centres, this volume will
appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as
Gender Studies, Sociology of Work and Industry, Sociology of
Knowledge, Business Studies and Higher Education. This title is
available as an Open Access eBook.
