Revolutionary Change and the Rise of Human Rights
In connection with the CFP for the Social Science History Association annual conference from Gerry Ronning, I am interested in papers on labour/proletarian feminism and women's working class activism in any region or period.
I am trying to put together at least one panel on this subject for the SSHA in Baltimore this November with the view to possibly including speakers and/or papers in a conference to be held at the University of Toronto in the next few years on the broad topic of labour feminism.
The Social Science History Association (SSHA) is accepting poster, paper, and panel session proposals for its 28th annual meeting, to be held at the Wyndham-Baltimore Inner Harbor Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland, from November 13-16, 2003. The labor network co-chairs, Richard Greenwald (greenwaldr@usmma.edu) and Gerry Ronning (gerr75@aol.com) especially invite papers dealing with any aspect of labor or working class history.
