"À peine dix ans après leur création, les métropoles sont aujourd'hui questionnées sur leur habitabilité. Ce n'est plus seulement leur compétitivité qui est en jeu, mais également leur désirabilité et leur durabilité face aux crises écologiques. Ces enjeux exigent de revoir nos modèles et nos outils d'analyse, y compris dans le champ de l'économie : circulaire, collaborative, solidaire, sobre, décarbonée, l'économie doit se réinventer. Cet ouvrage propose une grille de lecture de l'économie des métropoles françaises, loin des activités habituellement mises en avant (secteurs cognitifs, de production et d'exportation) en se concentrant sur les métiers 'ordinaires' et sur les travailleurs essentiels qui assurent dans l'ombre le fonctionnement de nos territoires. Cette 'économie métropolitaine ordinaire' (EMO) regroupe l'ensemble des activités qui fournissent biens et services aux autres entreprises. Indispensable pour engager une dynamique de transition, elle reste pourtant invisibilisée par la statistique et oubliée de nos politiques publiques. Ce travail vise à en révéler les enjeux et les besoins, afin de comprendre sa capacité de résilience et d'adaptation face aux grands défis socio-écologiques de notre temps"--Page 4 of cover.

The digital transformation of work during the COVID-19 pandemic seemed in many ways a fair treaty between employers and employees. However, realistically, its advantages have primarily benefitted white-collar workers with the ability to work from home, excluding a significant proportion of the global workforce, those responsible for providing fresh water, environmental hygiene, transportation, electricity, healthcare and food and security services, who do not have the option of conducting their jobs remotely. The pandemic has thus deepened the gap between white and blue and grey collar workers. Combining both theoretical and empirical studies, Management and Organizational Studies on Blue and Grey Collar Workers focuses on recent issues such as digitalization and migration and their implications for organizational commitment, HRM functions and strategic management processes. Acting as an examination of the changing nature of power between blue and grey collar workers and institutional hierarchies in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, contributors foreground the importance of these roles as a cornerstone for the competitive power of industries and nations, as well as basic global infrastructure, both now and in future. Highlighting the workers who provide the essential services, maintenance and manufactured goods that power the global economy, Management and Organizational Studies on Blue and Grey Collar Workers supplies essential knowledge on an often overlooked workforce for a variety of disciplines, including human resource management, industrial relations, social psychology, labor economics, gender studies, political science, union studies and health care management.

"First-Generation Faculty of Color: Reflections on Research, Teaching, and Service is the first book to examine the experiences of racially minoritized faculty who were also the first in their families to graduate college in the United States. From contingent to tenured faculty who teach at community college, comprehensive, and research institutions, the book is a collection of critical narratives that collectively show the diversity of faculty of color, attentive to and beyond race. The book is organized into three major parts comprised of chapters in which faculty of color depict how first-generation college student identities continue to inform how minoritized people navigate academe well into their professional careers, and encourage them to reconceptualize research, teaching, and service responsibilities to better consider the families and communities that shaped their lives well before college"--
