This event had been rescheduled twice because WE WERE ALL ON STRIKE so no it won't be rescheduled. We will observe a moment's silence for all those harmed or killed by the conditions of their productive and reproductive work.
Solidarity,

This is an unfortunate rescheduling because many critical labour activists concerned about the Logistics of Social Reproduction will be participating in International Workers' Memorial Day events on April 28th, this year the same as every year this century.
I hope it will be recorded, or preferably re-rescheduled.
Stay safe.

Logistics of Social Reproduction
Friday 28th April, 2pm – 4:30pm
Durham University, Teaching and Learning Center Room 117
Rescheduled due to strike action – now hybrid Please email [log in to unmask] for Zoom link
This hybrid seminar features three speakers and a discussant. Hannah Schling (Glasgow) has conducted research on worker dormitories as key sites in the Czech Republic’s export-oriented electronics manufacturing sector. Debbie Hopkins (Oxford) is PI on a new ESRC project ‘Trucking Lives: Making Space for People in Truck Driving Work.’ Francis Portes Virginio (Strathclyde) has conducted research on labour trafficking of Venezuelan truck drivers in Brazil. Alessandra Mezzadri (SOAS), author of The Sweatshop Regime who has published extensively on social reproduction and pandemic neoliberalism, will serve as discussant.
The seminar proposes to reflect on the organisation of working lives as a mode of logistics. We seek to examine how the complex spatial and temporal arrangements of contemporary forms of capitalism both include and shape patterns of social reproduction. We bring logistics to bear on how we understand the varied places, times, and forms of social reproduction in relation to capitalist production. Logistics not only circulates commodities, but mobilises labour. This is accompanied by new understandings of value, new contradictions, new spatial and temporal ‘fixes’, and new struggles around the spatial and temporal organisation of both waged work and social reproduction. The seminar will highlight work revitalising the labour regimes framework within which social reproduction is a central theoretical aspect. It will consider the varied ways that home, life, and work relate to each other in the contemporary moment of logistics-led capitalism. We hope the seminar will stimulate new thinking on precarity, capitalist crises, and work within and beyond the wage.
