Mon, August 10, 10:00 to 11:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
This session invites papers that examine precarious work and/or the experience of precarious workers. Precarious work is broadly defined and might include temporary workers, contract workers, the unemployed, underemployed workers, gig workers, part-time workers, and those employed in the informal economy. We particularly welcome submissions that examine racialized or gendered experiences of precarious employment, as well as class, immigration status, and other axes of inequality.
