Abstract

What can labor studies contribute to ongoing debates about the future of work? In a recent edited volume, Revaluing Work(ers): Toward a Democratic and Sustainable Future (Schulze-Cleven and Vachon 2021), we put forward a set of propositions that have sparked lively discussions at academic conferences over the past two years. This essay introduces a symposium on "Labor Studies and the Future of Work" that extends these earlier conversations and makes them accessible to the labor studies community. The article clarifies the main arguments and the broader agenda of the book before briefly addressing selected reactions to our claims. Finally, it summarizes the contributions to the symposium by a diverse group of scholars, reviewing what they have to say on the nature and purpose of labor studies as well as its promise for debates about the future of work and workers.

构建当今工作的未来——劳动研究视角

劳工研究能为正在进行的关于未来工作的辩论做出什么贡献？在最近编辑的一本书《改造工作：迈向民主和可持续的未来》（Schulze Cleven和Vachon 2021）中，我们提出了一系列主张，在过去两年的学术会议上引发了热烈的讨论。本文介绍了一个关于“劳动研究与工作的未来”的研讨会，该研讨会扩展了这些早期的对话，并使其能够进入劳动研究社区。这篇文章澄清了本书的主要论点和更广泛的议程，然后简要介绍了对我们主张的一些反应。最后，它总结了不同学者群体对研讨会的贡献，回顾了他们对劳动研究的性质和目的的看法，以及它对关于工作和工人未来的辩论的前景。

期刊介绍： The Labor Studies Journal is the official journal of the United Association for Labor Education and is a multi-disciplinary journal publishing research on work, workers, labor organizations, and labor studies and worker education in the US and internationally. The Journal is interested in manuscripts using a diversity of research methods, both qualitative and quantitative, directed at a general audience including union, university, and community based labor educators, labor activists and scholars from across the social sciences and humanities. As a multi-disciplinary journal, manuscripts should be directed at a general audience, and care should be taken to make methods, especially highly quantitative ones, accessible to a general reader.
