N2 - Although sociologists have devoted a great deal of attention to the processes and patterns associated with work (both paid and unpaid), it is crucial to bridge that with the extensive research that documents how work is constructed through racial, gendered, and classed practices. Sociological thinkers have offered important empirical contributions that highlight how intersections of race, gender, and class shape how work is defined, who has access to it, and what rewards (if any) derive from it. However, it is also necessary to consider how work is changing for a technologically driven, global economy and to explore how these intersections of race, gender, and class matter in that context. Research that pursues this direction will make important and timely contributions to both areas.
