CFP: Class, Social Movements, and the New Politics: NALHC, Detroit,
October 2010

The Program Committee of the North American Labor History Conference
(NALHC)invites proposals for sessions and papers on "Class, Social
Movements and the New Politics" for our thirty-second annual meeting.
Recent elections have shown the emergence of new political demographics
and the increased influence of young voters, progressive voters and
workers. New labor alliances have increasingly focused their energies on
securing and promoting a fresh understanding of how politics can serve
workers. This year's conference examines the intersection of politics
and workers in order to understand how this relationship has developed.
We welcome papers that examine this theme broadly: looking at the ways
workers participate in politics, define political interests, create
electoral alliances and understand their place in a political system.

The NALHC will be held October 21-23, 2010 at Wayne State University in
Detroit.
