Social and Labour History News

World History Connected, a 15-year old affiliate of the World History Association published by the University of Illinois Press, is seeking papers on “Anti-Imperialism in World History: Sources and Approaches,” which will be guest edited by Michele Louro (Salem State University) and Carolien Stolte (Leiden University).

Numerous 19th-century socialist militants and theoreticians have in their biographies the vital experience of emigration. Indeed, it was a time when hundreds of revolutionaries, outlaws, workers, students, and others, crossed geographical and linguistic borders, taking part in intellectual exchanges and transnational political practices.

Reports about global criminal networks taking over clandestine routes have stoked fears about irregular migration becoming a breeding ground for transnational crime, such as human trafficking, human smuggling, and drug trafficking. Research on the topic has mushroomed over the last decade, but the actual interaction between these crimes and irregular migration remains under-explored and under-theorised.

Coercion in work is a universal human experience that can be found in manifold forms of labour relations, both contemporary and historical. The analysis of coercive mechanisms in labour relations draws on various disciplinary approaches, mediums and tools.

In occasione del centenario della nascita di Leonardo Sciascia la Fondazione Gramsci Emilia-Romagna promuove un ciclo di dialoghi volto a indagare, a partire da alcune prospettive tematiche specifiche, la poliedricità dello scrittore e dell’intellettuale siciliano, il ruolo da questi giocato all’interno del dibattito culturale e politico a lui coevo e la viva essenzialità della sua opera per comprendere la complessità della nostra storia e del nostro presente, le loro mistificazioni e verità taciute.

Join us for a discussion about the politics, promise, and reality of the Socialist International at the turn of the 20th century.

‘The age of revolutions was also to be an age of civil wars’
David Armitage

Ever since the seminal 2005 volume Connected Worlds - History in Transnational Perspective co-edited by Ann Curthoys and Marilyn Lake brought transnational approaches to Australian history into focus, a growing scholarship has examined the ways in which the past and its representations are shaped through processes and relationships across national borders.
