Some of our work on class and its relationship to gender, occupation and race

Class is not a topic that tends to attract funding for serious research. However it is a strong interest. Some recent publications by Ursula Huws on class include:

Changing patters of segregation and power relations in the workplace (with Simone Dahlmann and Maria Stratigaki), Report from the WORKS project, Higher Institute of Labour Studies, Leuven, 2008

The Making of a Cybertariat:  Virtual Work in a Real World  Monthly Review Press,  New York and Merlin Press, London, 2003 (a collection of essays including several which look at class, including in relation to gender, national differences and service work).

The book has been translated into Korean by Shin Ki Sup and published with a new introduction by Potentia, ISBN: 89-86114-65-8 / 89-861114-63-1

The title essay was also published in German as ‘Die Produktion eines Kybertariats. Die Wirklichtkeit virtueller Arbeit’ in Das Argument, Zeitschrift für Philosophie und Sozialwissenschaften 248, 2002

‘Fixed, Footloose or fractured: work, identity and the spatial division of labour’ in Monthly Review, Vol 57 No 10, March , 2006

also published in Swedish as 'Rotfast, rotlöst eller splittrat' in Kors & Tvärs'  edited by Gunnarsson, Neergaard and Nillson, Normal Förlag. Stockholm, 2006

and in Portuguese as 'Fixo, volátil, ou dividido: O trabalho, a identidade e a divisão espacial do trabalho no séc. XXI'  in Resistir, March, 2006
 
‘What will we do? The destruction of occupational identities in the Knowledge-based Economy’, Monthly Review, Vol 57 No 8 January, 2006

translated into Swedish as  ‘Vad Jobbar du Med? Om sammanbrottet for yrkesidentiteten och knonstruktionen av resercarment’, Roda Rummer, 1/2006    

and into Portuguese as O que faremos nós? A destruição da identidade ocupacional na 'Economia baseada no conhecimento' , in Resistir, January, 2006     

We believe that Monthly Review is also published in Turkish, Spanish and Korean, but have not seen copies.
