My research explores “dirty work” and dignity, based on my comparative work of Janitors in the US, South Korea and India. Using an interdisciplinary framework, my talk will focus on how intersections of caste, gender, social class, age and ethnicity shape the invisibility of janitors in the workplace in culture-specific ways. Using qualitative interviews, social media analyses and ethnography, my research documents various dignity injuries experienced by janitors in these three cultural contexts. My talk will also present how Janitors also actively restore their dignity and infantilization of their labor in these three cultural contexts. I will discuss the relevance of intersectional framework to study dignity in workplace.
