"Labor, Solidarity and Organizations" Twenty-Seventh Annual North American Labor History Conference Wayne State University, October 20-22, 2005 The Program Committee of the North American Labor History Conference invites proposals for sessions and papers on "Labor, Solidarity and Organizations" for our twenty- seventh annual meeting. 2005 marks several milestones in labor history, most notably the centenary of the founding of the Industrial Workers of the World. In addition, 2005 is the one-hundredth anniversary of the 1905 Russian Revolution and the sixtieth anniversary of the end of World War II. All of these events represent milestones for labor movements and organizations that strongly shaped modern working-class experiences. In order to mark these events, the North American Labor History Conference invites papers that will explore the history, impact and meaning of these events" the founding of the IWW, the 1905 Revolution and the ending of WWII - as well as the broader process of unionization and organization. The program committee encourages comparative and interdisciplinary scholarship from a range of national and international contexts, the integration of public historians and community and labor activists into conference sessions, and the use of differing session formats (workshops, roundtable discussions, and multimedia as well as traditional panels). It encourages sessions that address the theme from perspectives of gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality. Please submit panel and paper proposals (including a 1-2 page abstracts and brief vitas or biographical statements for all participants) by March 1st, 2005, to: Professor Janine Lanza, Coordinator, North American Labor History Conference Department of History, 3094 Faculty Administration Building Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48202 Phone: 313/577-2525; Fax: 313 577-6987; Email: ao1605@wayne.edu The North American Labor History Conference is sponsored by the Department of History, the Walter Reuther Library, the College of Liberal Arts, and the College of Urban, Labor and Metropolitan Affairs, Wayne State University, and the Labor and Working Class History Association.
