In 1990, 37 percent of all union members in the U.S. were women -- a record high. Equally significant, and in sharp contrast to the situation earlier in this century, today women of color are more likely than their white sisters to be unionized.' And in a break with its long history of marginalizing women's concerns, the labor movement has embraced some major feminist issues in recent years, such as comparable worth and parental leave. Despite these gains, however, thanks to the general decline of unionism, only a small minority of the nation's workforce (a mere 13 percent of employed women, and 16 percent of all employed workers) are organized, and the short-run prospects for labor's renewal seem bleak. Feminist scholars have shown limited interest in the situation of women in the contemporary labor movement.2 But despite the current crisis of unionism, research on women's labor history -- a field that barely existed twenty years ago -- has burgeoned. 'Data are from U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employment and Earnings, 38, no.

    Personal Statement from Philippe Van Parijs, Candidate for Chair of the International Advisory Board

    Personal statement from Philippe Van Parijs, candidate for Chair of the International Advisory Board My reasons for being willing to keep serving BIEN as chair of its International Advisory Board (IAB) (1) My view of the function of the IAB as a modest form of counterpower: its sheer existence means that there is one organ distinct from the EC that could, if needed, express a position with some authority. This has not been needed so far and hopefully never will. (2) My view of the potentially useful twofold role of the chair of the IAB, in the light of my experience in the last 16 years: - give advice and provide information, at their request, to BIEN’s chairs, co-chairs, vice- chairs, general manager and other members of BIEN’s committee; - by virtue of not being a member of the EC yet trusted by the GA, follow BIEN’s life and in particular its formal proceedings more closely than other ordinary members so as to help the GA play effectively its own role of supporting the EC and holding it to account. My “qualifications and experience relevant to the post” Philippe Van Parijs convened the « first international conference on basic income » (Louvain-la- Neuve, September 1986), which saw the creation of the Basic Income European Network (BIEN). He combined the functions BIEN secretary and newsletter editor for most of BIEN’s life prior to its becoming the Basic Income Earth Network (Barcelona, September 2004). He was then elected chair of BIEN’s advisory board and was reelected to that function ever since.
  • Arguments for Basic Income, Universal Pensions and Universal

    Arguments for Basic Income, Universal Pensions and Universal

    Money for nothing? Arguments for basic income, universal pensions and universal child benefits in Norway Christian Petersen Master thesis Department of Comparative Politics University of Bergen June 2014 Abstract Basic income is a radical idea which has gained more attention in many countries in recent years, as traditional welfare states are having trouble solving the problems they were created to solve. Basic income promises to solve many of these problems in an effective and simple way. The purpose of this thesis is to study basic income in a way which can supplement the existing literature, and make it relevant in a Norwegian perspective. Hopefully this can contribute towards placing basic income on the political agenda and in the public debate. A large amount of literature is written on basic income, but by comparing the arguments used to promote a basic income with empirical data from previously implemented social policy in Norway, I hope to contribute towards an area which is not well covered. To do this I identify the arguments used to promote a basic income, and compare them to the arguments used to promote other universal social policy in Norway at the time they were introduced. The empirical cases of the universal child benefit and the universal old age pension in Norway has been chosen, because they resemble a basic income in many ways. The study is of a qualitative nature, and the method of document analysis is used to conduct the study. The data material for basic income is mainly scholarly literature. The data materials used for the analysis of the child benefit scheme and the old age pension are government documents, mainly preparatory work for new laws, legal propositions put forward in parliament, white papers, and transcripts of debates in parliament.

EDITORIAL: Tribute to André Gorz French social philosopher and journalist André Gorz (born in 1923) committed suicide with his wife in their home in Vosnon (France), and was found dead on September 24, 2007. Gorz was one of the most prominent advocates of an unconditional basic income. In his classic essays on work, socialism, or green politics, he had first expressed some scepticism with regard to the idea of an —income by right“. His chapter in Arguing for Basic Income (edited by Philippe Van Parijs, Verso, 1996) was significantly entitled: —On the Difference between Society and Community, and W hy Basic Income Cannot by itself Confer Full Membership of Either“.

Identify the ways in which cultural and social institutions shape the everyday experiences of individuals, groups and communities. Describe fundamental sociological concepts, and theories, and apply them to real-life situations. Texts There is no textbook for this class and no books to purchase. All class resources can be accessed through canvas or will be provided by the professor. Policies Student Attendance: Attendance is essential to your success in this course. I will take attendance every day and you will receive 10 points if you are in class on time and 5 points if you arrive late. There are 22 class meetings and a maximum of 200 attendance points so it is possible to miss two classes and still receive full credit for attendance. I will make accommodations for college sanctioned events (athletic contests, artistic performances, conferences) provided that you inform me of your anticipated absence in a timely fashion. An example of timely notification can be found in the tentative schedule. I will be attending a college sanctioned conference on November 5th and class is cancelled on that day.

This is a difficult field to bound as it incorporates several subfields, including the study of gender, race/ethnicity, sociology of education and much of social demography. There’s a lot to cover. As a graduate seminar, this class relies heavily on your participation. I will seldom lecture, and when I do my lectures will be brief and most likely methodological in nature (enough information to get you through the readings). The substantive work of this course falls to you. I expect you to complete all of the readings on time, submit summaries in a timely fashion (described below), and attend every class unless you are SERIOUSLY ill or have some other very legitimate reason for not attending (religious, family emergency, etc.). You will take turns leading our discussions. Course format We will meet for 2 hours and 20 minutes each week, with a five-minute break somewhere in there. In addition to completing ALL of the readings that are required (denoted by a *), each of you will complete one or two article summaries most weeks. You will upload your summaries to the drop box on the course web page by 8:00 AM Friday each week. This will give your classmates time to review your summaries before we meet.

The point, however, is to change it.” – Karl Marx That is the point, it’s true—but not in this course. This quote, indirectly, hints at a deep tension in Marxism. If we want to change the world we need to understand it. But the desire to change something can infect our understanding of it. This is a pervasive dynamic in the history of Marxism and the first step is to admit there is a problem. This means acknowledging the presence of wishful thinking, without letting it induce paralysis. On the other hand, if there are pitfalls in being upfront in your desire to change the world there are also virtues. The normative 1 goal of social change helps to avoid common trappings of academia, in particular, the laser focus on irrelevant questions. Plus, in having a set of value commitments, stated clearly, you avoid the false pretense that values don’t enter in the backdoor in social science, which they often do if you’re paying attention. With this caveat in place, Marxian social science really does have a lot to offer in understanding the world and that’s what we’ll analyze in this course. The goal is to look at the different hypotheses that broadly emerge out of the Marxian tradition and see the extent to which they can be supported both theoretically and empirically.

American Sociology and the Genealogy of its Missing Women on Wikipedia Wei Luo, Julia Adams and Hannah Brueckner “People just don't vanish and so forth.” “But she has.” “What?” “Vanished.” “Who?” “The old dame.” … “But how could she?” “What?” “Vanish.” “I don't know.” “That just explains my point. People just don't disappear into thin air.” --- Alfred Hitchcock, The Lady Vanishes (1938)1 INTRODUCTION In comparison to many academic disciplines, sociology has been relatively open to women since its founding, and seems increasingly so. Yet many notable female sociologists are missing from the public history of American sociology, both print and digital. The rise of crowd- sourced digital sources, particularly the largest and most influential, Wikipedia, seems to promise a new and more welcoming approach.
