INCA’s findings at the 7th Social Boundaries of Work International Conference
October 16 - October 18
On 16-18 October, the 7th edition of the Social Boundaries of Work International Conference will be held in Wroclaw. It is co-organized by INCA researchers from the University of Wrocław.
Under the title ‘Social Boundaries of Work. Critical Labour Studies in the Times of a Polycrisis’, the conference is dedicated to analysing the relationship between academia and the world of work in the context of overlapping and reinforcing socio-economic crises.
The COVID-19 pandemic was not only a profound crisis of public health, but also of public services and social security systems, which have been under pressure from neoliberal reforms for years. The escalation of armed conflicts in Europe as a result of Russia’s large-scale attack on Ukraine only exacerbated the refugee movements that had been taking place for years. The post-pandemic reality is also marked by a cost-of-living crisis that has deepened existing social inequalities and the impoverishment of many groups of workers.
Within the programme, on Thursday 17, our colleagues Adam Mrozowicki, Olga Gitkiewicz and Szymon Pilch (University of Wroclaw) will present INCA findings.
