Call for Proposals

 

General Strike 1919-2019: Radicalism, Repression, & Solidarity

 

2019 marks the 100^th anniversary of a watershed year in American and Canadian labor history. The year was defined by the Seattle and Winnipeg General Strikes, the Centralia Massacre, and the wave of state sponsored repression of immigrant workers during the Palmer Raids. Reflecting on these events a century later encourages us to consider the significance of radicalism as well as ways that organized labor has both enforced and overcome racial and gendered barriers to solidarity.

 

The PNLHA seeks presentations, performances, and papers especially related to:

-Labor Radicalism   

-Patriarchy and Feminism

-Employer and State Repression

-Racism, including White Supremacy

-Immigrant Workers and Xenophobia

 

The PNLHA values intersectional approaches to working class history. We especially encourage exhibits and performances of art and music that reflect working class culture and history, and non-traditional, popular education approaches. Presentations should be addressed to a broad range of conference participants includng academics, students, workers and community members.
