Product Information

Age at Work explores the myriad ways in which 'age' is at 'work' across society, organizations and workplaces, with special focus on organizations, their boundaries, and marginalizing processes around age and ageism in and across these spaces. The book examines: How society operates in and through age, and how this informs the very existence of organizations Age-organization regimes, age-organization boundaries, and the relationship between organizations and death, and post-death The importance of memory, forgetting and rememorizing in re-thinking the authors' and others' earlier work Tensions between seeing age in terms of later life and seeing age as pervasive social relations. Enriched with insights from the authors' lived experiences, Age at Work is a major and timely intervention in studies of age, work, care and organizations. Ideal for students of Sociology, Organizations and Management, Social Policy, Gerontology, Health and Social Care, and Social Work.

Reviews
Weve all been told, "Too old for this, too young for that." In this masterly study Hearn and Parkin show how organizations organize human beings into categories. Calendars, chronologies and "ticking clocks" mobilize to tell us what we are and who we are becoming. Birth and death are certainties, but age and ageing are where power meets opinion., In reviewing this book, the phrase that continually comes to mind is 'at last - a serious study of ageing and organization.' There are so many positives to this book, not least of which is the authorship of Jeff Hearn and Wendy Parkin, who build on a lifetime of high impact research on various aspects of power and diversity. The other must-read elements include timeliness (it includes discussion of Covid-19); personal reflections and self-critique (joining theory to experience); engagement with age hegemony and the discourse of ageing at work; all written in an engaging style; that explores a topic that is relevant to us all., Age at Workis a ground breaking book in a number of ways. At the core of the authors' thinking around age, organizing and organizations is their fundamental plea to move away from static and limited concepts of age, ageing and the old as othered, to more fluid and critical ways of bringing non-essentialist, anti-ageist thinking and being and intersectional perspectives to the forefront of enquiry.It is refreshing to see how decades of previous research from the authors on gender, sexuality, violence and emotions inform a truly interdisciplinary perspective, contributing to a 'slow research and writing' process. Furthermore, this allows the authors to ask difficult questions for which there are no easy answers, about how we might look anew at 'age at work' in the context of organizations. Core to this endeavour is a refusal to ignore the problematics such questions raise, and there is a careful dismantling of ambiguous boundaries surrounding the topics under scrutiny, so that even the organization of the unfixity of post-death is considered.The book is especially timely, due to the consideration here of the COVID-19 global pandemic, and issues of power and the politics of age and aging figure in the book more generally. The authors auto-ethnographic approach, where both academic relationships and personal life course trajectories are reflected on, adds to the spirit of intellectual honesty in which the book was written by all involved., Age at Workbrings age and organizations together in truly innovative ways. 'Age' intersects with organization as each constructs the other across time. Through a creative conceptual approach using data ranging from biographical to comparative sources, the book uses the prism of age to detail how we interact with organizations as workers, consumers, clients, patients or citizens in all our complexities. It brings new conceptualizations such as age/organizations regimes to bear in analyzing how age works inside and outside organizations.It is at once a rich review of previous work on the issues of ageing for both organizations and individuals and a theoretical and analytical contribution to considering in an ever more complex way how new insights from the intersectional issues of gender, class, race and ability interact with the unique category of age. The book will change how we consider organizations. It is an impressive enrichment to organizational studies and intersectional sociology. Using recent empirical case studies and interviews as well as biographical reflections based on their careers in organizational and gender research, Hearn and Parkin provide an immensely readable investigation of how age is actively at work in our organizations and how to better understand this. Highly topical, the book looks at age and organizations from youth to death, and concludes with considering the implications of pandemics., This fascinating discourse offers subtle and subversive insights into the ways we enact age and aging. It deconstructs conventional social scripts in ways that can improve both our own self-understanding and the shape of public policy., With its dynamic framework of age, aging and ageism enacted through organizations, Age at Work is pathbreaking, fundamentally challenging our perception of age in terms of fixed categories or specific life stages. The evolution of this book, a product of years of collaborative work between Hearn and Parkin, is reflected in its theoretical breadth and reach, which I would describe as Kaleidoscopic. Each new section reveals news aspects and processes shaping the dynamics of age in organizations: how age and organizations interact through societal regimes and age organizational regimes, how the configurations of age hegemony operate in organizations, sustaining the power of older white men. The latter is an example of the nuanced intersectional analysis of hierarchies in age, gender, race, ethnicity and generation that appear throughout this book. In the Doing of Organizations, Hearn and Parkin shift our focus to how boundary making within organizations define insiders and outsiders, leading to marginalization and non-recognition of the latter. These processes are embodied in narratives of their own experiences at various stages of retirement. Age at Work is both personal and provocative, seen in Hearn and Parkin's engagement with the paradoxes in age in an organizational context. Age is both social fact and a fiction; it is invisible and visible in organizations, embodied and disembodied. Most provocative are the last chapters on awareness of and the ultimate boundary, post-death, including the role of organizations in how we cope with and manage death. Age at Workis an important book. It resonates in our era of the pandemic. It will generate an entire new body of critical age studies and reinvigorate organizational studies with an awareness and sensitivity to age, aging, and ageism, an area of research much neglected., Combining keen scholarly insight with personal testimonies, Jeff Hearn and Wendy Parkin provide a sensitive and sophisticated analysis of age and organization. Age at Workbrings together age and organization studies in a comprehensive, highly accessible and contemporary account that addresses key concerns within cultural gerontology and the critical role of age in organizational construction and inequality. This timely book expands new domains of interest within a neglected area of research, highlighting how age, ageing and ageism 'figure' in organizations and raising fascinating issues that will be an invaluable resource across the social sciences., Innovative, timely and insightful. Essential reading for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the complex and so often neglected relationship between age and work. The book raises questions that could not be more important at the present moment in the context of the current pandemic. This is interdisciplinary work at its best., Hearn and Parkin bring long careers worth of organizational research to bear on this mission to rescue the field. They show how regimes of age structure institutions, from the rise of bureaucratic authority and trajectory of the ideal career, to the management of dependency and death in the age of pandemic. Enjoy this book for its sly humor and obvious pleasure taken in the writing. Let it inform your theory as you design your organizational research. It brings encyclopedic knowledge of the histories of institutions to bear on the management of old age, the penetration of bureaucracy into familial and personal authority, the organization of daily care, attempts to extend the human lifespan, and memorials built to honor our heroes. This book ought to reshape the field of organizational studies., Age at Workis a good reminder from the authors of a number of simplifications and stereotypes that are wrapped up in the making of age and organizations and its a great and exciting read. Readable and easy to understand, it remains accessible to a wide range of professional readers not only in the field of studies of inequality, organizational culture, stratification, intersectionality, ageing or gender, but also for those for whom the study of the life cycle with a critical sociological perspective is just beginning to open., With this volume, Hearn and Parkin offer a truly novel approach to the relationships between age, organizations and organizing. It is particularly heartening to see the breadth of disciplinary scope and inclusion of stages of life normally beyond the boundaries of organization studies. The personal voices and experiences of the authors are woven throughout their insightful reflections on what it means to be an ageing subject. This is a refreshing counterpoint to much of the literature that treats ageing as inherently problematic and reproduces, rather than challenges, the trope of intergenerational conflict.
