Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Drawing on a range of theoretical approaches, the authors explore questions that are central to our understanding of how the personal not only is shaped in and through work, but also contributes to social relations at work. Among the issues considered are: that emotional labour is increasingly central to the labour process of welfare work; the changing relationship between ageing, work and personal lives; the ways through which welfaretowork policies seek to regulate personal lives. The book seeks to further our understanding of the complex links between social policy and work in its different forms as well as highlighting that the dominant discourses of work have developed around particular constructions of how personal lives should be ordered. It is one in an innovative series Personal Lives and Social Policy published by The Open University and The Policy Press. The series comprises four interactive texts that successfully weave together new and challenging questions about the study of social policy with a range of teaching resources to support the development of the reader's own knowledge and understanding. Review 'It's good to see course material that engages with politically informed frameworks of thinking ... We are left in no doubt that the worlds of work, welfare and social policy constitute contested political terrain.' BSA Network' ... the book as a whole presents an evocative, provocative and coherent introduction to some of the most salient and conceptually challenging issues associated with the relationship between work, welfare and everday lives. It is a significant contribution to the literature.' British Journal of Sociology Review 'This book draws out the complex and dynamic relationships between work in all its manifestations and social policy. It is thoughtful, provocative and a muchneeded contribution one which, I hope, will be read by both students and their teachers.'
