Seminar Orientation
It has become commonplace to assert that, spurred by the socio-economic changes that have been observed over the last decades, the study of work and employment has become quite complex. The analytical tools and perspectives traditionally favored to study it are being challenged, we are witnessing the emergence of new theoretical approaches, even the emergence of new paradigms.

This seminar is an ideal opportunity to reflect on the evolution of theoretical approaches in this field and industrial relations, and to assess the relevance and scope of these approaches. Starting from the observation that the study of work and employment is highly by national and continental specificities, the seminar also aims to identify points of convergence and divergence between different theoretical approaches. Such a perspective invites us to reject all forms of universalism and to insist on a plurality of values to understand the increasingly complex world of work and employment.
