Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This course aims to address three major issues concerning the labour market: the construction and imposition of norms, the definition of power, and the future of organizations between stability and innovation. Building on the fundamental contributions of 20th century sociology (symbolic interactionism, critical sociology, organization theory, pragmatic sociology, sociology of gender etc.), the objective is to provide conceptual tools so that students can better analyze the situations they will face during their working lives.
