	Dear colleagues:

	 

	Please have a look below. It would be very important to have
articles from Continental Europe and Asia (we already have good
proposals from the US, UK, Latin America and South Africa). Do you have
any suggestions?  Please circulate it as much as possible and do
consider to write something.

	 

	Best,

	 

	Paulo

	"Labor History and Public History"

	 

	ILWCH is soliciting articles for a special thematic issue that
will analyze initiatives in labor history that extend beyond the
academic world to a broader public audience.  The issue will engage
questions that deal directly with the political and public aspects of
the discipline of labor history.   What is the relation of public labor
history projects to academic research and debate? What is the impact of
these projects? What are their political, historiographical, and
theoretical implications?   This issue will include both articles and
shorter descriptions of initiatives in public and labor history,
including reviews of films, plays, books, photo collections, and museum
exhibits. 

	 

	Possible topics for articles might include educational and
cultural projects organized by trade unions, governments, and immigrant
and civil rights organizations, for example, and might include analyses
of labor history websites, photo exhibits, labor and labor history
museums, labor history tours and tourism, labor archives, oral history
projects, labor maps, labor education projects, music, art, film, and
theater, public celebrations and labor history, photo and video
exhibits, public history projects related to the history of slavery, and
academic programs in public history.  

	 

	The issue will include articles on labor and public history
projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada, the
United States, and Europe.

	 

	For more information and queries about this thematic issue,
