This year's North American Labor History Conference is fast approaching.
The website is http://nalhc.wayne.edu and it has this year's program and registration information.

On November 11th and 12th, the Institute for Historical Studies at the University of Texas at Austin will host "Sexuality and Slavery: Exposing the History of Enslaved People," a conference convened by Daina Ramey Berry and Leslie Harris. Leading scholars of slavery in the Americas will explore consensual sexual intimacy and expression within slave communities, as well as sexual relationships across lines of race, status and power. The use of sexuality as a tool of control, exploitation and repression, but also as an expression of autonomy, resistance and defiance will be addressed.

Dear Friends, Colleagues and Contributors,

We are pleased to be able to give you two good news:

Klaus Tenfelde, in recent decades Germany’s most influential historian of labour and the working class, died on 1 July 2011, just seven weeks after he had retired from “his” Institute for Social Movements at the Ruhr University Bochum. In retirement, Tenfelde had hoped to continue work on his substantial “History of the Ruhr”, but a deceptive illness prevented it. Tenfelde is survived by his wife, Ellen and their two children.
