Critical Labour Studies
Annual symposium, Durham
This year’s CLS conference will take place at the historic home of the
mineworkers union at Redhills in the City of Diurham. A city that also
hosts the annual Miners’ Gala that remains one of the biggest labour
movement gatherings in Europe.
The main events of the conference will take place in the Miners’ Hall
with its numbered seating representing each of the pits of the Durham
coalfield which, at one time, was the largest in the world.
We are planning some additional special events to celebrate the
building’s history and the ‘Durham Big Meeting’ as well as booking a
local restaurant for dinner on the Saturday evening.
There is plenty of accommodation in Durham City and on the outskirts and
Newcastle is a 15 minute train journey away Accommodation needs to be
booked independently. Refreshments will be provided at Redhills but you
will need to indicate whether you plan to join us for dinner on Saturday
evening. Durham railway station is a short walk from Redhills.
CLS encourage debate and try out ideas rather than be constrained by the
usual academic parameters. It is also part of the CLS tradition to
encourage joint presentations from academics and researchers alongside
trade unionists.
This year, given our location, we would encourage submissions that
relate to unions and communities and their shared engagement with
austerity and its implications.
We also want to continue our internationalist traditions but please do
not be out off if your idea does not fit our categories.
