Labor educators from unions, workers centers, colleges,
universities and community-based organizations will
meet in New Orleans March 24-26, 2011, to explore how
our work advances workers’ rights today and for future
generations.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
We welcome proposals on topics across the entire
span of the challenges facing working people. Proposals
draw from many disciplines and take many forms,
including strategic or academic reports; qualitative or
quantitative analyses; teaching demonstrations; labor
history research, curriculum for adults or K-12; union
membership training tools; case studies; workshops;
general curriculum design; strategy sessions and
performances – music, art, especially murals – and
theater, especially improvisation or collectively created.
We are interested in the impact of the recession,
inequalities and the broader political climate on
organizing, bargaining, representation and access to
fundamental rights including education, occupational
BASEDLABORCENTERSAND
safety and health, housing and healthcare. Because our
conference is in New Orleans, we especially welcome
proposals that raise issues related to the intersection of
race, class and gender as enacted here, from Jim Crow
to Plessy vs Ferguson, to the Civil Rights Movement, to
the ongoing impact of Hurricane Katrina and now, as of
this writing, the British Petroleum oil spill.
