Transnational Labour History

International Labor and Working-Class History is looking for essays on the theme of new approaches to transnational labor history. The collection will be edited by Michael Hanagan and Marcel van der Linden. We're interested in case studies that illustrate new approaches or in general expositions of transnational processes or mechanisms of interest to labor historians. Drafts are due on September, 2003 and a short page or two precis within the next month or so.

Labour Feminism at the SSHC

In connection with the CFP for the Social Science History Association annual conference from Gerry Ronning, I am interested in papers on labour/proletarian feminism and women's working class activism in any region or period.

I am trying to put together at least one panel on this subject for the SSHA in Baltimore this November with the view to possibly including speakers and/or papers in a conference to be held at the University of Toronto in the next few years on the broad topic of labour feminism.

Labour at the SSHC

The Social Science History Association (SSHA) is accepting poster, paper, and panel session proposals for its 28th annual meeting, to be held at the Wyndham-Baltimore Inner Harbor Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland, from November 13-16, 2003. The labor network co-chairs, Richard Greenwald (greenwaldr@usmma.edu) and Gerry Ronning (gerr75@aol.com) especially invite papers dealing with any aspect of labor or working class history.
