Great lineup for this speaker series!

📚Join us for a virtual book launch on Tuesday January 18, 7PM ET - "Precarious Asia: Global Capitalism & Work in , & " by UNC Professor Arne Kalleberg, UNC Professor Emeritus Kevin Hewison & Professor Kwang-Yeong Shin of Chung-Ang University in Seoul, Republic of Korea! 📚

Precarious Asia assesses the role of global and domestic factors in shaping precarious work and its outcomes in Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia as they represent a range of Asian political democracies and capitalist economies: Japan and South Korea are now developed and mature economies, while Indonesia remains a lower-middle income country.

These three authors will be joined by Dr. Jenny Wai-Ling Chan (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University) as a respondent to raise questions about the book, how it fits into the current state of social science, and why this is important for Asian Studies more broadly.
