The ELHN Working Group ILO Histories seeks to bring together scholars interested in the rich history of the International Labour Organization [ILO] and its promotion of global labour standards and tripartism since 1919. We envision a broad scope as detailed herein.
On the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, join us for a conference that presents papers that rethink the cultures, events, and experiences of the American Revolutionary War across the liminal borders (regional and proto-national) of British North America. Our organizing premise insists that participants recuperate and center the aspirations, resistance, perspectives, and experiences of enslaved people and communities.
The two-day international workshop will bring together different perspectives on recycling in the Cold War era. It aims at a broader understanding of how capitalist and socialist recycling models were formed, developed, and interacted across historical contexts – including continuities, ruptures, and their impact on global and regional material flows. Our keynote speaker is Zsuzsa Gille with a talk on “Recycling in the Socialocene.”
