Dear Colleagues,
I am a PhD candidate looking to organize a panel for the Labor Network at the Social Science History Association Annual Meeting in Chicago (November 17-20). My work concentrates on clerical workers in the United States organizing for equality and rights in the workplace through unions and associations. I focus on campaigns in higher education from the 1970s through the early 1990s.
