Liverpool University Press is pleased to inform you of the latest content in Labour History: a Journal of Labour and Social History, published on behalf of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History, the journal is a highly regarded publication that is essential reading for those working in and researching social and labour history in Australasia.
While much of this historiography has focused on liberal democracies, less attention has been given to how concepts of risk operated in state socialist contexts. Building on recent studies in the history of medicine and health, we invite scholars to join a working group examining risk, health, and medicine under state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe. To what extent did state socialist regimes recognize certain health and medical issues as ‘governable’ through risk? What kinds of practices and ideas emerged in response?
We encourage scholars from various fields to submit papers addressing any aspect of 20th-century or 21st-century migration and its impact on identity, culture, and social change.

Curated by Gilles Guiheux (Université Paris Cité) and Eric Florence (Université de Liège), this digital exhibition “is the fruit of the collective work of historians and sociologists as part of the Eurasemploi program directed by Bernard Thomann (Inalco) and funded by the Agence Nationale pour la Recherche (ANR). The research focused on the workers' experience of precariousness in Japan, France and Belgium during the Trente Glorieuses period, on the one hand, and on China from the 1980s to the present day, on the other.
