CfP: Maritime Labour History Working Group, ELHN Conference 2026
The Maritime Labour History Working Group of the European Labour History Network (ELHN) invites submissions for its sessions at the 6th ELHN Conference, to be held in Barcelona from 16 to 19 June 2026.
The working group brings together scholars interested in the study of maritime labour across time and space. Since its inception, it has provided a transnational platform for sharing research on the transformation of maritime and port labour markets, and the conditions, struggles and agency of labouring communities connected to maritime economies.
CfP: Working Group Workplaces, Pasts and Presents, ELHN Conference 2026: Grounded Work: Social, Spatial and Environmental Ecologies of Labour
We invite scholars to explore the complex entanglements between labour, sites of production, industrial geography and environments across historical contexts. We seek papers that examine how workplaces—whether factories, offices, shipyards, mines, farms, or digital infrastructures—function not only as sites of economic production, but also as dynamic ecosystems embedded in social, spatial, and environmental relations.

En guerre et en grève Enquêtes dans les cités minières britanniques (1939-1945) (French)
by Ariane Mak
« Il n’y avait pas de grèves pendant la guerre ! » Ce livre défie l’idée, solidement ancrée dans les représentations de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, d’une suspension des conflits sociaux au nom de la nécessaire unité nationale. De 1939 à 1945, le Royaume-Uni connaît plus de 7 000 grèves, la plupart dans l’industrie charbonnière. Qu’est-ce qu’implique la grève en temps de guerre ?
Faut-il être solidaire de la nation ou plutôt de la classe ouvrière ?
