Forty years ago, discussions of the global South focused largely on agriculture, but changes in the organization of work, including the incorporation of large parts of the developing world into global supply chains, have created a large and important laboring class in the global South, working in all sectors. Amidst growing urbanization and rising average standards of living, the lives of workers in the global South are now more connected than ever before to the lives of workers in the global North. But despite the growing connections between North and South, growing specialization within regions has remade and sharpened the international division of labor while the extremes of global inequality have also been increasing.","PeriodicalId":382067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Rights","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130648851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Public Service as a Calling: Reflections, Retreat, Revival, Resolve 公共服务作为一种职业:反思、退却、复兴、决心

Bowman","doi":"10.2190/WR.16.1.D","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2190/WR.16.1.D","url":null,"abstract":"A nascent interest in work as a vocation—a profound source of life meaning and human dignity—may be emerging today. This impending change is discussed by focusing on “calling”—that wonder from antiquity—which commands conviction and commitment in service to the public. The nature of calling, its retreat, the possibilities for its revival, and the need for resolve are examined in seeking lives of significance. Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at something that doesn’t really matter. —Anon The role of work in life has been viewed in many ways throughout history—as a curse, a punishment, salvation, a social duty, and self-actualization (Donkin, 2001; Hardy, 1990). Whether it is denounced as a necessary evil or praised as essential for human dignity, the legacies of these perspectives affect today’s understanding of labor as either degrading and demoralizing or enriching and ennobling. As a central life interest, it follows that work varies considerably in its purpose for people. It may be seen as a way to secure survival, success, or significance—that is, as a job (a means for financial gain), a career (an avenue for advancement), or a calling (one’s true place in the world). When compared to a job or a career, a calling provides a sense of deep meaning at work and authentic engagement in work. Such a belief, identity, and","PeriodicalId":382067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Rights","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124957069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Online databases such as the Web of Science and Google Scholar, where most published books and articles and works cited come from the Euro-American core, illustrate this fact. The issue is not simply a lack of funding in the developing world; instead, the question is raised whether the forces behind the dissemination of anthropological knowledge are reverting to ethnocentric sentiments reminiscent of the discipline’s initial foundations. With technology such as the Internet easing communication between the developed and developing worlds, why has this hegemony persisted? How can technology be used to overcome this double standard within the discipline? The World Council for Anthropological Associations (WCAA) has recently engaged in a project to create a world list of publications, providing an equal platform for accessing research from lesser-known journals from the developing world. How effective has this model been? Is there a question of credibility with regard to lesser-known journals, whether or not they are refereed, if they offer free access to content? Open access to information and a rethinking of traditional publishing models is needed to encourage the inclusion of new scholars and those from the developing world. Indeed, the only way to experience cultural relativity in the world of publishing and the academic workplace, we argue, is to encourage conversation between anthropologists from both the developing and","PeriodicalId":382067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Rights","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134221189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New Hegemonic Tendencies in the Production of Knowledge: How Research Quality Evaluation Schemes and the Corporatization of Journals Impact on Academic Life 知识生产中的新霸权倾向:研究质量评价方案和期刊公司化对学术生活的影响

Reuter","doi":"10.2190/WR.16.3-4.G","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2190/WR.16.3-4.G","url":null,"abstract":"Many governments have now established systems for ranking academic journals in terms of their “quality,” as evidenced by their “impact on the field.” This article argues that the new ranking systems maintain or extend existing hegemonies of knowledge. While the declared goal of the schemes is to measure “academic output” more realistically than is possible with purely quantitative measures, the result is that journals previously considered equal are now ranked. While there has been consultation with academics, in Australia, for example, the scope provided for criticizing the scheme was limited to the details of how to rank particular journals. This formalization of journal rank orders will increase the degree of hierarchy in an international publishing world that is already full of disparities, between the core and periphery of power/knowledge, and between global and more local languages. If schemas of journal evaluation are shaped by the ethnocentrism of the globally dominant players, alternative cultural value-systems may be ignored and journals in marginal countries devalued. Another danger is that ranking can further marginalize different, alternative voices within our own culture, or within a shared global culture. Critical analysts in the humanities and social sciences, as well as all natural scientists whose work is in some way politicized, are particularly vulnerable to the kinds of punishments that now go along with publishing unpopular","PeriodicalId":382067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Rights","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134096503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Halfway Out: Why America's Sexual Minorities Deserve Better Than the Employment Non-Discrimination Act 半途而废:为什么美国的性少数群体应该得到比就业不歧视法更好的待遇

Rudin","doi":"10.2190/WR.16.3-4.E","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2190/WR.16.3-4.E","url":null,"abstract":"Sexual minorities lack protection from employment discrimination under U.S. federal law, but approximately half of the states have chosen to protect lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and (less frequently) the transgendered. Almost all of these states have chosen the simplest method of doing so, which is to add the phrase “sexual orientation” to their preexisting sets of prohibited types of employment discrimination. At the federal level, a broad coalition is encouraging passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. In every instance where the text of this bill differs from the Civil Rights Act it is to the detriment of sexual minorities. For example, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act would make it more difficult for employers to fire same-sex harassers than opposite-sex harassers. Truer equality of employment opportunity would result from a legislative strategy that more closely mirrored the one chosen by those states that have already chosen to move forward to address this issue. PLACE-BOUND WORKPLACE RIGHTS The city of Philadelphia has suburbs in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Suppose an employer in that region found out that an employee was a member of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community and fired the employee for that reason. In Philadelphia and New Jersey, the firing would violate state or city law. In Delaware, firing would be illegal unless the employee was transgendered. In the Pennsylvania suburbs of Philadelphia, no law would be","PeriodicalId":382067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Rights","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132099546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Viet Nam, decollectivisation entailed a highly egalitarian land redistribution and so presents a nearly unique case study. I discuss two sets of theories: market transition theory and feminist theories analysing the household and household production processes. While market transition theories offer some insights into the differential effects of liberalisation, they do not address aspects of women's work outside the formal economy. In contrast, feminist theories are able to comprehend the complex and interlocking nature of households, lineages, and the wider economy for women's lives and work.I argue that collectivisation of agriculture presented some advantages for women, in that some work was socialised, and earning work points made their work more visible than it had been within peasant households. Decollectivisation and capitalist market relations have offered opportunities for some: for instance, Vietnamese women's role as market traders has been restored. Agricultural productivity has risen, and this has benefited women as well as men. However, this process also restores much more control to male household heads. New property laws give wives the right to have their names on title deeds, along with husbands; however, this is rarely enforced. The majority of peasant women face a loss of services, increased economic instability, and increased risk. New forms of labour organising may be needed to assist rural women in realising land and other rights.","PeriodicalId":382067,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Rights","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131995224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
