Join the University of Washington Bothell Labor Studies Colloquium for a year of online talks investigating and exploring the exacerbated, economic fault lines for working class lives in times of crisis. Each meeting, held on Zoom, will feature a talk by a visiting scholar and/or artist and discussion, including topics such as the carceral and unresponsive state, alternate and solidarity economies and community storytelling, and will be organized by UWB Labor Colloquium faculty members Dr. Dan Berger, Dr. S. Charusheela, Dr. Joseph Ferrare and Dr. Kari Lerum, coordinated by Dr. Ching-In Chen with assistance from Graduate Assistant Simon Wolf.

The colloquium will culminate in Spring 2021, with a Creative Writing workshop, BCULST 587/BISIA 410: Labor Stories During Pandemic Times. The class will organize a community storytelling project which will culminate in a chapbook which showcases these voices.

Sponsored by the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington
