Dialectical materialist methodology for a mind-in-activity approach to work, learning and political economic consciousness
In this theoretical review article I discuss the relationship of dialectic materialism, Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and analyses of work, learning and political economic consciousness. The purpose is to help researchers reflect on how they might be more effective in their analytic work. Specifically, its goal is to help expand the comprehensiveness and recognition of the dynamism of phenomena of work and learning, and to support th…
The “Work” of Workplace Mental Health
This article employs institutional ethnography (IE) inclusive of its distinctive epistemological stance to elucidate the institutional organization of the everyday work experience of the employee living with self-reported depression. The study was conducted within a large industrial manufacturing plant in Ontario, Canada. We discuss three institutionally organized processes that play a dominant role in coordinating the experiences of employees wi…
Reading across workplace learning research to build dialogue
Sociological Understandings of Conduct for a Noncanonical Activity Theory
Following a discussion of activity theory as an approach to human development originally rooted in transformational change, we review the historical context and diverse conceptualizations of social conduct from the field of sociology. The discussion of social conduct is broken into theories of social action, theories of enactment, and contemporary sociological attempts at critical integration of the two across local and extralocal social processe…
Critical Perspectives on Activity
The last two decades have seen an international explosion of interest in theories of mind, culture, and activity. This unique collection is the first to explicitly reach back to the tradition's original critical impulse within which the writings of Karl Marx played such a central role. Each author pushes this impulse further to address leading contemporary questions. It includes a diverse array of international scholars working from the fields of…
Labor Education and Labor Art
Approaches to education, knowledge and aesthetics are reviewed in order to discuss the role of art in union member education, distinguish ing between insurgent art linked to oppositional political projects and dominant forms of Art Proper. Art is observed in terms of both produc tion and consumption, drawing on psychologist Jerome Bruner's no tion of knowing for the "right" and "left" hand and cultural-historical approaches to learning. It is arg…

The Sociology of Education in Canada
Sociology of Education 2e offers a well-rounded introduction to the sociological understanding of education, analysing key debates and issues with reference to critical research and theories of education. The book includes a sociological analysis of education in Canada, theories of education, historical and organizational dimensions of Canadian education, the politics of teaching, as well as educational opportunity and social reproduction. Throug…
Hidden knowledge
The research reported in this paper attempts to document the actual learning practices of working-class people in the context of the much heralded ‘knowledge-based economy’. Our primary thesis is that working-class peoples' indigenous learning capacities have been denied, suppressed, degraded or diverted within most capitalist schooling, adult education institutions and employer-sponsored training programmes, at the same time as working class inf…
Adult Learning and Technology in Working-Class Life
1. Understanding learning, technology and social class: concepts and claims 2. A historical materialist examination of theories of adult learning 3. 'That's technology': understanding working-class perspectives on computer technology 4. Microanalysis of worker's computer learning: two case studies of computer learning 5. Working class computer learning networks: exploring the elements of collectivity and class habitus 6. Understanding working-cla…
Hidden Knowledge
Working people are more knowledgeable and actively engaged in learning than public discussion generally assumes. Two basic assumptions underlie much recent discussion about work and learning: a new "knowledge-based economy" is quickly emerging with new jobs generally requiring greater knowledge and skill; and, a "lifelong learning culture" must be created in order for workers to cope with these employment-related knowledge demands. Virtually ever…

Informal Learning as a Speech-exchange System
The ‘Unionization Effect’ among Adult Computer Learners
Findings from qualitative and quantitative research in Canada are combined to explore the links between adult participation in progressive trade unionism and patterns of learning. Progressive trade unionism is defined partially by an organization's commitment to member education and the effective ‘buffering’ of supervisory discipline within the labour process. With a focus on computer learning specifically, the data suggest that involvement in su…
Unions and Learning in a Global Economy
Union Learning
With over 100,000 Canadian workers participating annually in educational programs conducted by unions or labour organisations, union-based education is the most significant non-vocational education available in Canada. This monograph is an historical account of labour education in English Canada, beginning with the founding of the Workers' Educational Association (WEA) in 1918 to the turn of the 21st century. It covers the rise and decline of WEA…
Beyond Cultural Capital Theory
A suitable correlation can be made to represent the simulated distillation of heavy oils starting from thennoaravimetric measurements. This method is applicable to hydrocarbons having an initial boiling point equal or greater than 200°C. The simulated thermogravimetric distillation fit was obtained from experiments with the standard compounds obtained from ASTM D-2887-83 (Boiling range distribution of petroleum fractions by gas chromatography). T…
Building Traditions of Inquiry and Transforming Labour-Academic Collaboration at the Union Local
A MAJOR GAP in education and training scholarship exists regarding the links between academic institutions and organized labour at the level of the union local. More specifically, there is a lack of scholarship that looks at the ways in which union locals can (and do) develop their own traditions of educational research, and the possible role — if any — for academic fellow travellers in this development. In this brief space, I want to focus on th…
