Annotation

English

Anthropological basis of human freedom, thus also ethics. Well-established rules do not limit human freedom, but enable it.

The aim of the course is to critically reflect and discuss current issues of work and organizations in late modern globalized society. Individual reading of the literature and subsequent lectures and seminars aim to achieve this. The course concludes with a written paper on a topic of the student's interest and an examination. Selected topics: (1)Risks, vulnerability and insecurity of work (non-standard work, precarious work, migration for work); (2) Paid and unpaid work (domestic work, volunteering, gender and work); (3) Vocations, professions and professionalization (the changing roles of professionals in public life, professionalism as a discursive practice; (4) Organization and power (the nature of power and authority, power elites, organizational forms and their transformations with an emphasis on power). Across the themes, questions of the relationship between work/organizations and inequalities in society run through. Students are also introduced to different ways of empirically investigating the themes and reflect on their methodology.
