We are beginning to assemble our December newsletter. If you have any of the following items to share, please send them to the section's wonderful newsletter editor, Joseph van der Naald, [email protected], before the December 1st deadline.
The ASA has opened the 'submission' links for next summer's meeting. LLM will host two open panels, plus roundtables. Please note that the session themes parallel the themes for the LLM miniconference. We hope that any papers that aren't accommodated in the regular section panels will be submitted for the miniconference, planned for August 7th in the Bay Area (the day before the ASA conference opens in San Francisco)..More details coming soon.
“New Challenges for Labor” Organizer: Barry Eidlin, McGill University As most labor scholars today acknowledge, the past three decades have posed stark new challenges for labor movements; deregulation combined with changing labor processes and an increasingly global economy have weakened unions in much of the world, both in terms of protecting union members and representing broader community interests. This panel invites papers that examine labor’s new challenges across sectors and contexts, and discussing activists’ varied responses to those challenges. “New Strategies for Labor” Organizer: Jeff Rothstein, Grand Valley State University Over the past decade, labor activists around the world have pursued new strategies for mobilizing and representing workers. This panel seeks papers that describe new organizing strategies for labor, whether in sectors or communities lacking well-established unions, where previously-established unions have been prompted to explore new strategies, or in places where workers lack the right to form their own unions. From workers’ centers and minimum wage campaigns, to efforts to mobilize broad community support “for the common good” and to otherwise gain a voice for workers in the workplace and the economy, the panel will highlight and explore innovative labor strategies in the 21st century.

Topic Title: LRAN 2020 Conference Call for Proposals
Click to see (you must be logged in): https://lranetwork.org/forums/topic/lran-2020-conference-call-for-proposals/ Topic: The 2020 Labor Research and Action Network (LRAN) National Conference will be held March 12th at Morehouse College, co-hosted by the Morehouse College International Comparative Labor Studies Department. On March 13th, the Jobs With Justice National Conference, located at the Atlanta Convention Center, will include an LRAN track of workshops. Scholars, labor practitioners, and activists from across the country will converge in Atlanta, GA to share new ideas and lessons learned, and connect around research and campaign work. As we gather in the space of an historically black college and university in the South, we hope this conference is an opportunity to develop a proactive strategy that amplifies voices that have historically not had a place or priority at the table. We hope to learn from the unique challenges faced by organizers and researchers in the South and in Right-to-Work states, including from active campaigns in the Atlanta area. In light of the 100th Anniversary of industrial labor relations in the United States, LRAN invites participants from universities, unions, worker centers, and policy centers across the U.S. to submit workshop proposals that focus especially on:
Workshop submissions are due by January 3rd, 2020. Proposals are being collected through this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ETIC-YhCO-H3JlHE-UHR0jYG0_Aasjcc23v5LMbyEZ0/viewform?edit_requested=true LRAN conference attendees are encouraged to join the Jobs With Justice National Conference, which will be held March 13th-15th at the Atlanta Convention Center. The 13th will include LRAN workshops. Registration for the JWJ conference requires an additional fee. Please indicate in the form if you are only able to attend the LRAN conference on the 12th. Capitalism and Contention
Keynote speaker: Vivek Chibber (New York University), "Movements and the Many Lives of Capitalism" Where: New York University, Department of Sociology, New York City (in the historic Puck Building, Houston Street @ Lafayette) When: March 13-15 (Friday, March 13, 5 to 7 pm; Saturday, March 14, 9 am to 6 pm; Sunday, March 15, 9 am to 1 pm) Conference organizers: Jeff Goodwin (NYU) and Nada Matta(Drexel) The goal of this conference is to facilitate dialogue and debate among scholars and students who are working at the intersection of political economy and social movement studies. We are calling for papers which address the following questions: How have capitalism and capitalist states catalyzed, but also constrained, workplace resistance, labor movements, "identity movements," environmental movements, rebellions, revolutions, and other forms of political contention around the globe over the past century? How and to what extent have these various forms ofcontention shaped capitalism and capitalist states in turn? Also, how have recent transformations of capitalism, and of class relations, altered the possibilities for and the nature of contentious collective action in the contemporary period? How have, and should, social movements relate to political parties and elections in pursuit of their goals? What are the prospects for radical change in contemporary capitalist societies? To what extent does social movement theory help us answer these questions, and to what extent does it need to be recast, perhaps radically? Abstracts (300-400 words) are due on December 31, 2019. They should be sent to [email protected]. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at the conference will by notified by January 7. Conference papers are due on March 1.
