Course content, structure and pedagogical approach | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The course aims to provide students with knowledge about challenges in contemporary work-life. Students will be working on various empirical examples of contemporary challenges in work-life such as self-management and meaningful work. The student will learn to analyze and understand these examples in light of three questions: what role do deliberation and judgement have for the employee subject? What and how do individual and collective habits form our sense of self? Which role does desire imply for our conceptions of being an employee subject? By combining management texts, philosophical texts and empirical cases, the student will get a practical and philosophical insight into these three questions. The course runs over five weeks and will mainly consist of pre-recorded lectures and onsite workshops.
