When Work Divides: Nicole Mayer-Ahuja on Paths to More Solidarity
How is work changing in today's capitalism – and why are the lines of division growing even among wage-dependent workers? On Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the Bielefeld Adult Education Center invites you to an enlightening evening with sociologist Nicole Mayer-Ahuja. Her lecture combines scientific analysis with the pressing question of how common interests can be placed back at the center.
Work Environment Between Competition and Solidarity
In the Murnau Hall of the Adult Education Center, Mayer-Ahuja looks at the social forces shaping the daily lives of many employees. Different working conditions, insecure employment, and competition influence the relationships among wage-dependent individuals. The evening contextualizes these developments and shows where there are opportunities for solidarity and social change.
Sociological Perspectives on the Present
Nicole Mayer-Ahuja is a professor of sociology of work, companies, and economics at the Georg-August University of Göttingen. Her research combines in-depth expertise with a clear analysis of current labor and class relations. Her book "Class Society Acute" also addresses the question of how the opposition between capital and labor is expressed today and what significance the class question still holds.
An Evening for Discussion and Contextualization
The two-hour event is aimed at anyone who wants to better understand societal developments and think about fair working conditions, co-determination, and collective action. The calm atmosphere of an adult education lecture creates space for focused listening and exchanging thoughts on central questions of political education.
Conclusion: Discussing Societal Questions Live
If you want to view the changes in the world of work not just through headlines but from a sociological perspective, you will experience an informative and stimulating evening in Bielefeld. The lecture offers orientation, opens up new spaces for thought, and invites discussion about solidarity in professional life and society.
