Description
This special issue of Transformation contains some of the presentations delivered at a colloquium held in Johannesburg on 27 and 28 June 2009 to mark the formal retirement of Professor Edward Webster after 33 years at the University of the Witwatersrand. The colloquium was organised by the Society, Work and Development Institute, which developed from the Sociology of Work Programme (SWOP) which he founded 25 years ago. The colloquium brought together some of Professor Webster's South African and international colleagues, as well as former students, to reflect on his and SWOP's research agenda which under Eddie reflected a deep and extensive attempt to understand South African labour in a global context.
