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.

The Mostra CineTrabalho / Brazilian International Labour Film Festival (BILFF) is a university extension activity of the UNESP – São Paulo State University. The event merges the cultural characteristics of a film festival with the academic discipline of social sciences to bring together knowledge and a critical view of the labour world. The BILFF aims to honour and support the filmmakers whose productions regard working conditions and to provide a forum for appreciative and informed discussion of a wide range of labour issues.

As Britain’s society changed, techniques in photography developed, enabling workers to capture their own lives for the first time. In our exciting new exhibition Grafters, visitors will witness how the working classes went from objects in photos, to heroic representations of industry and finally to photographers themselves.
