> CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: “NEW VOICES IN LABOUR STUDIES”
>
> A Labour Studies Workshop at McMaster University
> Hamilton, Ontario
> October 19th – 20th, 2007
>
> Workshop Objectives and Themes
>
> Scholars in the field of Labour Studies continue to expand the  
> depth and breadth of research taken up, and studied, in relation to  
> labour market trends. Increasingly, the interdisciplinary nature of  
> labour studies programs broaden as new connections are made between  
> fields of study. This workshop will explore these new developments  
> within the field of labour studies, and provide the “new voices” of  
> labour studies an opportunity to present their research and work.  
> During a series of panels and presentations, scholars receiving  
> their PhD within the last 5 years, along with post-doctoral  
> fellows, and senior PhD students will be provided with an informal  
> venue in which to present their research. The workshop will bring  
> together researchers, union and social movement leaders, activists,  
> and academics to examine the connections between the field’s  
> foundational knowledge and the new developments to be presented.  
> Workshop panels and discussions will be centered on the theme  
> derived from participant’s submission.
>
> Call for Panelists and Discussants
>
> Panelists: The goal of the workshop is to foster reflection and  
> discussion on the new developments and research within the field of  
> labour studies, as they are encountered by academics, activists,  
> and leaders of union and social movements. As such, each panel  
> discussion will have four to five speakers (15-20 minutes per  
> speaker) representing a cross-section of the field of labour studies.
>
> Discussants: Each panel will also have a discussant, whose role  
> will be to pull together the themes emerging from the presentations  
> and subsequent discussions, and summarize key points arrived at  
> during the session.
>
> If you are interested in participating in the workshop as a  
> panelist or discussant, please email a short (250 word maximum)  
> outline of what you would like to contribute to the workshop. The  
> deadline for submitting an intent to participate is August 6th, 2007.
