Call for Papers

The graduate students in the history department at Purdue University are pleased to announce the annual Midwest Labor and Working Class History Colloquium at Purdue University, April 3-4, 2009.

The Colloquium invites paper proposals from graduate students that cover a wide variety of topics and time periods related to labor and working class history. The conference presentations will be on an informal basis, and we encourage participants to talk about rather than read their papers. We especially encourage the participation of those attending the upcoming Labor and Working Class History Association Conference in Chicago as the colloquium serves as a good precursor and rehearsal to the LAWCHA conference. The Deadline for submissions is March 11, 2009.

Please submit the following to: MLWCH09@gmail.com (Coreen Derifield)

1. 1.) Brief Abstract of 250 words.
2. Short CV with contact information (institutional affiliation, address, email, phone number.)
   

Please contact Coreen Derifield (cderifie@purdue.edu) or Timothy Lombardo (tlombard@purdue.edu) with any questions.
