Labor in the Global South: A Search for Solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n

A global, interdisciplinary graduate student research conference<\/em><\/p>\n

May 27-28, 2011<\/p>\n

University of California Los Angeles<\/p>\n

\n

It is critical to reexamine the position of labor in the global South, in the context of momentous changes underway in the global economic and political order.\u00a0 Our goal in this conference is to take stock of the state of work and workers in the global South, and to share best practices and critiques of strategies to upgrade jobs and empower workers.\u00a0 This conference will bring together graduate students from the United States and around the world to bring their own research to bear on these issues.<\/em> The goal is not just to exchange information, but to advance discussions about strategies and solutions.\u00a0 To this end, graduate student presentations, which will make up the bulk of conference content, will be supplemented by innovative labor-related practitioners from the South, in addition to senior academics from the United States.\u00a0 Also, to this end, we ask that paper submissions look toward solutions as well as analyzing current and historical conditions.\u00a0 We welcome submissions that look at a full range of issues involving labor, work, and employment, including formal employment, informal employment, and household and other uncompensated work.\u00a0 Submissions are welcome from graduate students in a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to: sociology, political science, history, geography, anthropology, economics, area studies, ethnic and gender studies, public policy, social welfare, and urban planning.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A limited number of travel scholarships<\/strong> (airplane fare only) are available to graduate students outside the United States.\u00a0 Participants from outside Los Angeles will be housed with UCLA graduate students and faculty at no cost.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proposals (1 page) are due April 8, 2011.<\/strong> Include your name, institutional affiliation (including graduate program name), and country.\u00a0 Please indicate whether you wish to be considered for a travel scholarship.\u00a0 Send to laborintheglobalsouth@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
