Learning life and citizenship in hospitality, volunteering and society 

Based on a paper presented at the Work, Employment and Society Conference 2021: Connectedness, Activism and Dignity at work in a Precarious Era

 Bio:

I am senior lecturer in organisational behaviour at the University of Adelaide Business School. I started my university career studying for a BA (Hons) in Hospitality Management after several years working in different fields. I researched for an MPhil in Tourism Management (Hong Kong) and a PhD in Emotion in Organisations (UK), working in various universities before coming to Adelaide in 2012. I continue to research and supervise students in organisational behaviour, management and research methodology.

Presentation overview:

In this presentation I will introduce the work of Piere Bourdieu, the French sociologist, to help understand explore employee and management practice in two types of organisation, public houses and a volunteering NGO. In particular, I will consider the often blurred line between work and non-work practice, through a habitus lens.

Habitus refers to the way people learn how to behave consistently in social situations, a sort of social application of the broader idea of ‘habit’. Habitus theorises how our behaviour and practice maintains and reinforces social structures, like families, cultures, societies and (in this case) work organisations.
