2/2- “Labor Past and Present” Columbia U Conference

January 17, 2024 Amanda Rajnauth

You are invited to attend Labor Past and Present: Bringing History and Activism Together. This conference will be held at Columbia University Law School, Jerome Greene Hall, Room 106, on February 2, 2024, from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm EST.

This conference asks: what is the value of history to labor? What is the value of labor to history? How might we better bring the lessons of the past to laborers, labor organizers, scholars, students, and the public at large? And how does centering non-traditional labor and underrepresented experiences in labor organizing and labor history help us to better understand both?

Join as they explore these questions through the research of graduate student panelists and roundtable discussions. Panels and roundtables include: “Labor & Culture,” “Labor & Health,” “State, Statelessness, and the Law”, “Teaching Labor and Labor History” and “Labor Today: Crisis and Resurgence.”

You can view the tentative schedule and list of speakers, as well as register for Labor Past and Present using this link [https://forms.gle/E65X49LSeb4xrSB96] or the QR code in the attached flyer.
