The Leverhulme Trust has awarded the University of Bristol a three year Leverhulme International Network grant to enable research on a project 'Voices at Work: legal effects on organisation, representation and negotiation'.
This comparative project, led by Professor Tonia Novitz (University of Bristol) and Dr Alan Bogg (University of Oxford), will investigate the relationship between law and workplace participation. Its focus will be on legal developments in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the US.
A variety of events will be held and a website will be created to facilitate interaction between academics from diverse disciplines in these different countries. The aim will also be to engage with policy makers, including governments, social partners, NGOs and UN organisations.
Further information
Leverhulme International Network grants enable Principal Investigators based in the UK to lead a research project where successful completion is dependent on the participation of relevant overseas institutions. A significant research theme must be identified at the outset which requires, for its successful treatment, international collaboration between one or more UK universities, and two or more overseas institutions (normally up to a maximum of seven institutions in total).
