As part of the “Work and Democracy” lecture and discussion series organized by the network of labor and trade union research Dr. Peter Ittermann (Coordinator of the Industrial and Labour Research Department at the Social Research Centre Dortmund), Dr. Maximiliane Wilkesmann (Heisenberg Professorship “Sociology of Work and Organization” at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the TU) and Michaela Evans-Borchers (Director of Work & Change at the Institute of Work and Technology at the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences, Gelsenkirchen) discussed the transformation of the world of work and development trends within employment.
Together with experts in labor and trade union research, the aim is to discuss the close connection between work, co-determination and social recognition with a broad public. A working environment based on mutual recognition and solidarity promotes the democratic development of a society. On six evenings in April to June 2024, the interactions between work and democracy will be examined in more detail against the backdrop of current transformation processes. Further events in the series will take place on 11.06.24 (Challenges of co-determination) and on 25.6.2024 (final event with speakers from the lectures) at RUB/O-Werk Bochum.
