2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the Race Relations Act, which was the first legislation in the UK to address racial discrimination. Our Living History performance No Bed of Roses explores the experiences of Gabrielle, who moves from St Kitts to Britain in the 1950s, and examines the racism of the time. Our Living History performances can be booked throughout the year by schools and community groups. To find out more contact our Learning Team on learning@phm.org.uk or 0161 838 9190.

Ils sont au travail. Les salariés d’une usine qui produit 800.000 pièces d’automobile par jour et le compositeur Nicolas Frize dont la création musicale s’invente au cœur des ateliers.
Chacun à sa manière, ils disent leur travail. Chacun à sa manière, ils posent la question : alors, c’est quoi le travail ?
AVANT-PREMIÈRES
The Third ISA Forum will be convened in Vienna, Austria, 10-14 July 2016 on the theme “The Futures We Want: Global Sociology and the Struggles for a Better World.” This theme encourages a forward-orientation in empirical, theoretical, and normative research to tackle the problems and opportunities that often cut across borders.
Metamorfoze, the national programme for the preservation of Dutch paper heritage, will completely subsidize the digitization of the archives of the Dutch Diamond Workers Union (ANDB). This will make a part of the Dutch trade union history widely accessible, but the history of the ANDB is also an important episode in the narrative of Jewish Amsterdam, as the rank and file of the Diamond Workers Union consisted largely of Jewish socialists.
1965 marked a turning point in Indonesian history. A failed putsch on 1 October was followed swiftly by a violent backlash against the Left. About half a million were killed, perhaps another million and a half detained without trial. The violence paved the way for the military regime of General Suharto, the New Order. Millions of survivors and their relatives lost their civil rights. The nation was changed forever.
For half a century, serious discussion of this shocking violence has been taboo within Indonesia. However, the taboo has begun to lift in recent years.

The ESSHC aims to bring together scholars who explain historical phenomena using the methods of the social sciences.The conference is characterized by a lively, small group exchange, rather than in formal plenary sessions, and is organized in many networks covering specific topics.
The ESSHC 2016 will take place in Valencia, Spain, from 30 March up to and including 2 April 2016.
The annual Social History Society Conference is the largest gathering of social and cultural historians in the UK. Over the last four decades, our members have transformed historical research, inspired challenging work and explored the many ways in which our social worlds are made, imagined, shared and shattered.
In this special year, we are delighted to be returning to Lancaster University, home to many of the SHS’s founding members. Proposals for panels, individual papers or posters are warmly invited from new and established researchers.
