The Future of Work
David Lewin, LERA President and Program Chair
The LERA Program Committee invites proposals for stimulating, creative, and controversial panels, symposia, workshops and papers related to this theme as well as other topics of current interest and the mission of LERA. We encourage submissions from different disciplines–including but not limited to economics, sociology, political science, labor and employment law, industrial relations, and human resource studies–and different stakeholder perspectives, including investors, managers, employees, policy makers, and unions. The deadline for proposals is October 5, 2012.
The Chair and Program Committee welcome session proposals from LERA members and non-members, Interest Sections, and Industry Councils in these broad areas:
- Labor Economics and Labor Markets
- Law, Regulations, Dispute Resolution
- Labor Management Relations
- Labor Unions and Employee Voice
| - Work and Occupations
- Industry Studies
- International and Comparative IR/HR
- Public Policy in Healthcare and Defense
|
SESSION PROPOSALS may focus on Research, Professional Development (best practices, training, and professional issues), or Public Policy (especially related to the future of work in health care and defense). Sessions may take a variety of forms: Symposia, panels, workshops, skill-building debates, roundtable discussions, etc. Sessions should include no more than 6 participants (for example, a chair, 3-4 presenters, and 1-2 discussants) and allow at least 20-30 minutes for audience discussion. Participants may only appear on the program once.
INDIVIDUAL PAPERS may be submitted for competitive paper sessions-the LERA Competitive Papers Competition and the AILR/LERA Best Papers Competition. Selected authors will be invited to present in special sessions at the meeting and may earn invitations to publish. Abstracts of papers to be considered for inclusion in the LERA Poster Session are also invited.
