Tobias Schulze-Cleven Faculty Diversity Collaborative Peer Network profile

About

My research examines the changing politics and governance of work and higher education in rich democracies, contributing to debates about the future of work, evolving means of collective worker voice, institutional transformations in welfare states, and the transition to a global knowledge economy. I am very active in international collaboration, particularly with Europe and Germany. Beyond my own scholarship and teaching, I have initiated a summer study abroad program for Rutgers undergraduates and mentored doctoral students at the School of Management and Labor Relations (SMLR) in building an international working group on the global future of workers.

Current Work

I engage across disciplines to examine distributional conflicts and how they are processed in contemporary political economy. At Rutgers, I do so institutionally as the Director of SMLR’s Center for Global Work and Employment, as a Faculty Affiliate at the Center for European Studies, and as a member of the Ph.D. Programs in Industrial Relations and Human Resources, Higher Education, and Political Science.
