> One of the central concerns of new working-class studies is the
> complex relationship between class, race, gender, sexuality, and
> other aspects of culture, history, and identity. How do these
> concepts intersect, and how are they useful to our efforts to
> understand working-class culture and politics? How are individual
> and group identities shaped by these categories of diversity and
> culture? How do tensions and connections related to race, gender,
> and sexuality shape working-class organizing, activism, and daily
> life? How have the relationships between these categories changed
> over time, and how do they differ in various places?
>
> We invite proposals from students, workers, faculty, organizers, and
> activists in all fields, from literature to geography, history to
> film making, union organizing to neighborhood activism. Along with
> papers, we invite performances, film showings, roundtables, and
> presentations of all kinds. In addition, we invite proposals for
> Three hour interactive workshops and field trips, which will be
> scheduled for Saturday morning.
