Labor Past and Present: Bringing History and Activism Together

Feb 2 at 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

What is the value of history to labor? What is the value of labor to history? How might we better bring the lessons of the past to laborers, labor organizers, scholars, students, and the public at large? And how does centering non-traditional labor and underrepresented experiences in labor organizing and labor history help us to better understand both?

Join us as we explore these questions through the research of graduate student panelists and roundtable discussions. Panels and roundtables include: “Labor & Culture,” “Labor & Health,” “State, Statelessness, and the Law,” “Teaching Labor and Labor History,” and “Labor Today: Crisis and Resurgence.”

Scheduled times are tentative and subject to change.

All registered guests will receive a boxed lunch and are invited to join the speakers and presenters for a reception from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm. All attendees must pre-register by January 31, 2024.
