Streams announced; submit abstracts now! The 33rd International Labour Process Conference invites you to submit abstracts for consideration in the 2015 conference to be held in Athens, Greece, 13-15th April. The revised deadline for submission of abstracts and symposiums is now Friday 17th October. ILPC 2015 brings academics, students, and policy makers from the sociology of work and employment, business and management studies, human resource management, industrial relations, organisational analysis and a range of other disciplines, to Athens, the historical home of intellectual debate. Register with the ILPC at www.ilpc.org.uk and submit abstracts of 500 words. Please note that preference will be given to papers that promote a critical understanding of workplace relations and integrate empirical material with theoretical and conceptual consideration. The conference particularly welcomes early career researchers/ PhDs. Papers must not have been previously published or presented elsewhere. Abstract contents should enable the referees to determine what issue, development or problem is being investigated, how it is investigated, what any findings are and what contribution is being made to understanding in this field. Decisions on acceptance will be made in December 2014. To propose a symposium (based on roundtable discussion rather than paper based sessions): submit proposal, include background to topic, and explain why a symposium format is a fruitful forum, and list all contributors and what their input will be. The primary focus of the ILPC is work; the quality of employment, and work process in significant and emerging sectors, with an emphasis on employee perspectives and empirical, field-led research. The ILPC 2015 invites papers on issues such as: • • • • • • • • •

the meaning, value, quality and experience of work the restructuring of work and workforces gender, ethnicity and class at work power, control and culture in organisations trade union strategies and organising resistance and misbehaviour employee wellbeing and dignity labour markets and political economy public and third sector work and employment

‘Precarious work and Workers’ Resistance: reframing Labour for the 21st Century’; ‘Personnel Politics: Exploring the Emergence, Processes and Outcomes of HRM’; ‘The meanings of work and loss of work in historical perspective’; and, ‘The re-configuration of working time in an age of austerity’.
