Fairness reimagined: Multidisciplinary perspectives about work
The conference aims to bring together academics and practitioners to discuss how questions of fairness and equality are being reimagined to humanise and improve work in what remains a socially, politically and economically challenging landscape.
Fairness and equality are urgent matters in the changing context of work and are central to achieving growth, development and social justice. Against this backdrop, multidisciplinary dialogue between diverse actors and projects is essential to identify sustainable directions and discuss the challenges of articulating an inclusive and transformational language of fairness that is sustained by concrete initiatives, commitments and accountabilities to create a credible roadmap for positive, transformational change.
The conference looks to contribute to our understanding of these challenges, exploring and showcasing how workers, organisations, unions, regulatory actors, among others, are engaging with contested ideas about fairness and using windows of opportunity to mobilize views, approaches and action.
