AHRC Network: 'Women, Work and Value in Europe, 1945-2015'

07.03.2014-08.03.2014, Bristol

This workshop will ask how we measure and define the value of work. How is work categorized (paid vs. unpaid, domestic/caring vs. work outside the home)? And how can we conceptualise the value of work (use value vs. exchange value, emotional, political, cultural, social values, value judgements etc.? Discussion will centre around position papers from scholars in a range of disciplines, kickstarting the interdisciplinary dialogue which will be at the heart of this network.

Labor Politics in the Oil Industry: New Historical Perspectives

University of Padua, October 23-24, 2014

The importance of labor in the history of national and international oil politics has been largely overlooked by scholars. Yet, as recent events in Libya, Algeria and Nigeria show, oil workers play (and have played) a crucial role in blocking or rederecting the flow of oil, while labor policies have often been central in defining relations between international oil companies and oil-producing states.

Pantarei Editions (Milan) has recently published ‘Un socialismo di rito Ambrosiano-Emiliano: The constituent congresses of the Italian Socialist Party (1891-1893)’ the fifth volume of the series Individual and collective biographies of the Italian working-class movement (348 pages, 25.00 euros).
