Research Handbook on Inequalities and Work

Edited by Cynthia Forson, Lancaster University, Geraldine Healy, Mustafa B. Öztürk and Ahu Tatli, School of Business and Management, Queen Mary University of London, UK

‘The Research Handbook on Inequalities and Work offers an impressive overview of recent theoretical evolutions in research on power and difference at work. The contributions push the conversation forward by reconnecting their analyses to deepening economic inequality, environmental degradation, migration flows, colonial legacies, rapid technological change and the precarisation of work. A timely conversation among scholars from all continents. Not to be missed!’
