The continuing intensification of neo-liberal policies across Europe and
beyond will bring major challenges to the workers and popular classes,
at home and abroad.
The re-composition of radical left politics in the UK and
internationally presents both challenges and opportunities to activists
and academics. In this context, *Critical Labour Studies* (CLS) has
organised a one-day event with the intention of encouraging discussion
and reflection after the political changes of the current year.
*The CLS tradition is one of open debate and discussion*. The day will
be organised around four themed sessions, with maximum time for
discussion from participants:
·Crisis and austerity: trade union responses
·Left politics and the labour movement
·Alternatives to austerity in Europe
·New worlds of work
*Speakers will include activists/academics*from a number of backgrounds
including, Martin Smith â GMB, Maurizio Atzeni, Jenny Chan, Rachel
Cohen, John Kelly, Phoebe Moore, Paul Stewart, Martin Upchurch. The
detailed programme will be finalised shortly. Event is part sponsored by
the Conference of Socialist Economists South Group.
*For your diary:*the annual two-day CLS Symposium and workshop will be
held in Durham in November 2016.
