Dear Colleagues,
I am a PhD candidate looking to organize a panel for the Labor Network at the Social Science History Association Annual Meeting in Chicago (November 17-20). My work concentrates on clerical workers in the United States organizing for equality and rights in the workplace through unions and associations. I focus on campaigns in higher education from the 1970s through the early 1990s.
I am assembling a panel that looks at the interaction of work and gender. This includes topics such as feminism, workplace rights, unionization, gender dynamics of the service industry, and many others. I am primarily looking for panelists that examine issues of work and gender in a non-U.S context to give the panel an international scope.
The theme for this year’s conference is "Beyond Social Science History: Knowledge in an Interdisciplinary World." More information can be found about the SSHA conference at the organization's website: http://www.ssha.org/annual-conference
I am seeking a chair, a discussant, and panelists. Contact me at av9699@wayne.edu if interested. Please send abstracts and a short CV by February 18, as the deadline for submission of panels is February 20, 2015.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Amanda Walter
