2010

Class, Social Movements and the New Politics

Recent elections have shown the emergence of new political demographics and the increased influence of young voters, progressive voters and workers.  New labor alliances have increasingly focused their energies on securing and promoting a fresh understanding of how politics can serve workers.  This year’s conference examines the intersection of politics and workers in order to understand how this relationship has developed. We welcome papers that examine this theme broadly: looking at the ways workers participate in politics, define political interests, create electoral alliances and understand their place in a political system.

We encourage comparative and interdisciplinary scholarship from a range of national and international contexts, the integration of public historians and community and labor activists into the 2010 conference sessions.  

Panel and paper proposals are due by March 15, 2010.
