Announcement from Prof. Rick Halpern (University of Toronto)
By admin | marzo 22, 2008
Dear Colleagues:
It is with great pleasure that we write to announce a summer institute, “Transnational Labour, Transnational Methods” to be held from 8-14 June, 2008 on the campus of the University of Toronto (UofT).
We invite you to nominate possible participants to the institute. It would be useful if you considered not only students and recent graduates of your own programme, but also scholars you may have met elsewhere, especially in the Global South.
This institute will unite established and junior scholars and graduate students in an intensive week of discussion, planning, and training in methods and practices of transnational labour and working-class history. We are proud to have assembled an enormously distinguished and diverse cohort of facilitators who will be leading sessions during the institute. We have attached a provisional list of facilitators and visiting scholars at the end of this letter. Our summer institute is co-organized by the UofT, Centre for Asia Pacific Social Transformation Studies (CAPSTRANS), the International Institute for Social History (Amsterdam, Netherlands), and the Toronto area United Steelworkers.
We are aiming to assemble a cohort of around fifty participants from the Global South and North. Ideally, participants should be emerging scholars, including graduate students or recent Ph.D.s. It is not necessary that they be working on global research topics, only that they are engaged scholars who could benefit from contact and collaboration with leading scholars and fellow participants. We would ask that you pass along this invitation to possible participants and/or to send along nominations and we can contact them directly.
