Project description

In our research project we explored if and how the processes of marketization and subjectivation generate a new politics of work and gender; whether the processes of marketization and subjectivation have an effect on working and employment conditions as well as corporate gender relations and if so, of what nature the effects are. Furthermore, we focused on the strategies that employees develop in order to deal with the structural and organisational changes of their working place. Our field of research was the Deutsche Bahn AG.
