The Tamiment Seminar in Labor and Social History is designed to bring together faculty and graduate students to discuss work in progress. We believe that we have an exciting program this year. The seminar is transnational in focus and defines the disciplines of labor and social history rather broadly. Papers are pre-circulated.
The seminar meets in the Tamiment Library conference room from 6:30 - 8:30 (10th floor, New York University's Bobst Library, 70 Washington Square South).
For a copy of a paper please contact me, ; 212-998-2428. The other members of the seminar organizing committee are: Molly Nolan (NYU), Brian Greenberg (Monmouth University), Daniel Walkowitz (NYU)
The Tamiment Seminar is co-sponsored by the Labor and Working Class History Association.
