CFP: Work and Neoliberal Ascendancy

CFP: Panelists: SSHA - "Work and Neoliberal Ascendancy" (Abstract Deadline: 13/02)

I'm organizing a panel for the 2014 Social Science History Association in Toronto (November 6-9) concentrating on the changing understanding of work from the end of WWII to the present. This includes industrial restructuring or the global transformations of industrial capitalism as well as the role of agricultural or service labor in post/non-industrial economies. My own work concentrates on the process of industrial decentralization/restructuring in Detroit.
