They will study how people's places within those structures relate not only to what they earn financially, but also to their well being more generally, including their sense of identity and pride, and their autonomy, health, and safety. Participants will examine how people are socialized to adapt to work organization and how occupational subcultures shape their work and their relationships with co-workers. They will explore how work - or the lack or loss of it - affects people off the job; namely, their status and relationships within the family and the larger society.
