A very special kind of Canadian -- or specifically

the opposite of what one would expect ) :-) ;-) ?

Challenges of work and workers in the knowledge economy
An international symposium

Saint Mary's University
October 29 -31st , 2010
Halifax, Canada

The traditional manufacturing base of the North American economy has been
studied and theorized extensively. But the world has changed and a post
industrial &ldquo;knowledge economy&rdquo; is presenting new challenges.
One area especially neglected is that of work and workers in this new
economy. The typical full-time, full-year, permanent, male-dominated
workforce model in a legal employment relationship with government
regulation based on that model demands to be re-imagined and
re-regulated. These challenges affect all stakeholders - workers and
their organizations, employers and their organizations, governments and
academics. This symposium will present research and thinking on these
questions by international experts and local practitioners.

Our Keynote speaker will be Katherine V.W. Stone, Professor, University
of California at Los Angeles Law School.

Professor Stone is a leading expert in labor and employment law. She was
awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship Award in 2008 and a Russell Sage
Fellowship for 2008-2009 for her work on the changing nature of
employment and the regulatory implications. Her forthcoming book,
Globalization and Flexibilization: The Remaking of the Employment
Relationship in the 21st Century, will examine the changing employment
landscape in Japan, Australia, and Europe. Professor Stone's recent book,
From Widgets to Digits: Employment Regulation for the Changing Workplace
(Cambridge University Press 2004) won the 2005 Michael Harrington Award
from the American Political Science Association for the
&ldquo;outstanding book that best links scholarship to struggles for
justice in the real world." The book was also the finalist (second place)
for the C. Wright Mills Award from the Society for the Study of Social
Problems.

Please join us in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada) to explore the question:
What are the challenges for all stakeholders in the emerging world of
knowledge work?

Call for papers

This international symposium draws together academics, policy makers,
unions, associations of professionals and artists, employers, and workers
in the global labour market to discuss the nature of the challenges they
face and the possible routes to new institutions and relationships in the
rapidly changing knowledge economy.

Papers are invited on the main symposium theme as well as following
conference subthemes:

Representation
Who are the stakeholders in the knowledge economy? How have their roles
been redefined? What new players and institutional forms are emerging?
What kinds of collective organizations work best? What is the state of
citizenship at work in contemporary workplaces? How is the struggle to
organize both work and workers being redefined in a knowledge economy?

Public Policy & Law
How can existing regulatory frameworks cope with the knowledge economy?
Does the regulation of existing institutions adequately serve the needs
of workers and employers/deployers of labour in the knowledge economy?

Working conditions, careers, and the labour process
How are working conditions and the labour process shaped by the
identities, norms and expectations of knowledge workers and the knowledge
economy? How is a career defined and managed when work is intangible,
creative, remote, project-based, and focused on end products rather than
long-term relationships? What is the impact of risk and how is it managed
in portfolio careers?

Immaterial labour and ownership of intellectual property
What impact does the blurring of the production/consumption boundary have
on work control and workplace relations? Who owns the products and
services produced? How is value created and distributed?

Managing knowledge workers
What is changing for employee loyalty, innovation, and motivation?
Today&rsquo;s (project) managers cope with greater employee autonomy and
creativity across more and more specialized technical fields of
knowledge. How do you manage knowledge workers, or creative workers, or
semi-autonomous professionals collaborating with peers, owners, and
managers? Where are managers&rsquo; sources of power and legitimacy?

Training, education and issues of knowledge management
In networked employment, whose responsibility is training and
development? Who owns the creative power in a knowledge organization?
Where does investment in human capital fit with worker autonomy, global
citizenship, and product value? What are the implications for knowledge
transfer and accumulation when workers can call on the collective
knowledge beyond their organization to solve problems?


Please submit a 300-500 word abstract to [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by March 31st, 2010 indicating either the general
symposium theme or one of the subthemes. Complete papers will be due by
September 1st, 2010. Select papers will be considered for publication in
various venues stemming from the symposium. Submissions are welcome in
English or French; please note that some linguistic support will be
available to presenters; however we are unable to provide simultaneous
translation during symposium sessions. The symposium will be preceded by
an industry breakfast, panel discussion, and workshop on October 29th.
Symposium participants are welcome to attend this session

This international symposium draws together academics, policy makers,
unions, associations of professionals and artists, employers, and workers

Defis pour le travail et les travailleurs dans l&rsquo;economie du savoir
Symposium international

29-31 octobre 2010
Saint Mary&rsquo;s University
Halifax, Canada

La base manufacturiere traditionnelle sur la quelle repose
l&rsquo;economie nord-americaine a ete abondamment etudiee et theorisee.
Mais le monde a change et l&rsquo;<< economie du savoir >> offre a
present de nouveaux defis. Un domaine particulierement ignore concerne
l&rsquo;emploi et les travailleurs de cette nouvelle economie. Le modele
type de la force de travail masculine occupee a temps plein a
l&rsquo;annee longue et de facon permanente, dans le cadre d&rsquo;une
relation d&rsquo;emploi soumise a la regulation etatique sur une base
legale, necessite d&rsquo;etre repense et re-reglemente. Ces defis
concernent tous les acteurs - les travailleurs et leurs organisations,
les employeurs et leurs organisations, les acteurs etatiques et les
universitaires. Ce symposium permettra de presenter les recherches et
reflexions d&rsquo;experts internationaux et d&rsquo;acteurs de terrain
sur ces questions.

Notre conferencier principal sera Katherine V.W. Stone, Professeure,
Faculte de droit, Universite de Californie a Los Angeles.

La Professeure Stone est l&rsquo;un des principaux experts du droit du
travail et de l&rsquo;emploi. Elle est la recipiendaire, en 2008,
d&rsquo;un Guggenheim Fellowship Award, ainsi que du Russel Sage
Fellowship 2008-2009 pour ses travaux sur les changements de la nature
des emplois et leurs consequences sur la reglementation du travail. Son
ouvrage a paraitre, Globalization and Flexibilization: The Remaking of
the Employment Relationship in the 21st Century, traitera des changements
concernant l&rsquo;emploi au Japon, en Australie, et en Europe. Le recent
livre de la Professeure Stone, From Widgets to Digits: Employment
Regulation for the Changing Workplace (Cambridge University Press 2004) a
recu le Prix Michael Harrington Award 2005 de l&rsquo;American Political
Science Association pour "this oustanding book that best links
scholarship to struggles for justice in the real world". Cet ouvrage a
egalement ete finaliste (seconde place) pour le C. Wright Mills Award
remis par la Society for the Study of Social Problems.

Rejoignez nous a Halifax pour explorer la question suivante : Quels sont
les defis que doivent relever les differents acteurs intervenants dans le
monde en emergence des milieux de travail du savoir?

Appel de communications

Ce symposium international reunit des universitaires, des responsables
politiques, des syndicats, des associations de professionnels et
d&rsquo;artistes, des employeurs et des travailleurs du marche global du
travail, afin de discuter de la nature des defis auxquels ils font face,
ainsi que des possibles voies conduisant a de nouveaux rapports et
arrangements institutionnels dans une economie du savoir en pleine
mutation.

Nous vous invitons a presenter des communications sur le theme principal
du colloque - Quels sont les defis que doivent relever les differents
acteurs intervenants dans le monde en emergence des milieux de travail du
savoir? - ainsi que sur les sous-themes suivants :

Representation
Qui sont les intervenants de cette economie du savoir? Comment leurs
roles ont-ils ete redefinis ? Quels sont les nouveaux joueurs et formes
institutionnelles emergents? Quels sont les types d'organisations
collectives qui fonctionnent le mieux? Quel est l'etat de la citoyennete
au travail dans les milieux de travail contemporains? De quelles facons
les luttes pour l&rsquo;organisation du travail et des travailleurs
sont-elles redefinies dans une economie basee sur le savoir?

Politiques publiques et droit
De quelles manieres les structures de regulation existantes peuvent-elles
faire face a une economie basee sur le savoir? Les regles regissant les
institutions actuelles du travail desservent-elles de facon adequate les
besoins des travailleurs et des employeurs de l&rsquo;economie du savoir,
y compris lorsque ces derniers ont moins de travail a offrir?

Conditions de travail, carrieres, et les processus d&rsquo;emploi
De quelle facon les conditions de travail et les processus d&rsquo;emploi
sont-ils faconnes par les identites, les normes et les aspirations des
travailleurs du savoir et de l'economie du savoir? Comment definir une
carriere et ses trajectoires lorsque le travail a une base immaterielle,
creative, lorsqu&rsquo;il est realise a distance ou qu&rsquo;il repose
sur un projet, concentre sur des produits finaux a livrer plutot que sur
des rapports a long terme? Quel est l'impact du risque dans ce contexte
et comment est-il pris en compte dans la gestion des carrieres?

Travail immateriel et droit de propriete intellectuelle
Quel est l&rsquo;impact de l&rsquo;effacement de la frontiere entre la
production et la consommation sur le controle du travail et les relations
de travail? A qui revient la propriete des produits et services issus de
ce travail? Comment la valeur creee est-elle distribuee?

Le management des travailleurs du savoir
Quels sont les changements en cours concernant la loyaute des
travailleurs, leur motivation et leur engagement dans l'innovation? Les
(project) managers d'aujourd'hui font face a une plus grande autonomie et
creativite des travailleurs au regard de champs de connaissances
techniques de plus en plus specialises. Comment peut-on controler ces
travailleurs intellectuels ou creatifs, ou des professionnels
semi-autonomes qui collaborent avec des collegues, des proprietaires, et
des managers? Ou sont les sources du pouvoir et de la legitimite des
managers?

Formation, education et questions relatives a la gestion des
connaissances
Dans le domaine de l&rsquo;emploi en reseau, a qui incombe la
responsabilite de la formation et du developpement? Qui possede la force
creative dans une telle organisation? Dans quelle mesure l'investissement
en capital humain correspond-t-il aux besoins d&rsquo;autonomie des
travailleurs et de citoyennete, ainsi qu&rsquo;a la valeur du produit?
Quelles sont les implications, pour le transfert et l'accumulation des
connaissances, des situations ou les travailleurs peuvent faire appel a
des connaissances collectives, au-dela de leur organisation, afin de
resoudre des problemes?


Veuillez soumettre un resume de 300 a 500 mots de votre proposition de
communication a [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> au plus tard pour le 31
