"Labor, Solidarity and Organizations"
Twenty-Seventh Annual North American Labor History Conference
Wayne State University, October 20-22, 2005
The Program Committee of the North American Labor History Conference =
invites proposals for sessions and papers on "Labor, Solidarity and =
Organizations" for our twenty- seventh annual meeting. 2005 marks =
several milestones in labor history, most notably the centenary of the =
founding of the Industrial Workers of the World. In addition, 2005 is =
the one-hundredth anniversary of the 1905 Russian Revolution and the =
sixtieth anniversary of the end of World War II. All of these
events represent milestones for labor movements and organizations that =
strongly shaped modern working-class experiences. In order to mark these =
events, the North American Labor History Conference invites papers that =
will explore the history, impact and meaning of these events - the =
founding of the IWW, the 1905 Revolution and the ending of WWII - as =
well as the broader process of unionization and organization.
The program committee encourages comparative and interdisciplinary =
scholarship from a range of national and international contexts, the =
integration of public historians and community and labor activists into =
conference sessions, and the use of differing session formats =
(workshops, roundtable discussions, and multimedia as well as =
traditional panels). It encourages sessions that address the theme from =
perspectives of gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality.
Please submit panel and paper proposals (including a 1-2 page abstracts =
and brief vitas or biographical statements for all participants) by =
