Submission Deadline: 11/15/2021 —
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered the worst jobs crisis since the Great Depression and led to a massive contraction of the global economy. The resulting economic crisis has made the lives of many working people in the United States more vulnerable and precarious. We call for two types of papers to help us understand the impact of the health and economic crises on working people in the United States.
(1) The Big Picture: We invite papers from all disciplines that explore the broad/global/macro changes that have not only impacted working people, but been shaped through their struggles both within and beyond the workplace.
(2) Case Studies: We also invite papers from all disciplines that explore how the twin health and economic crises have played out on the ground for workers.
To submit a proposal, please send a (a) two-page CV and (b) one-page abstract of the proposed paper by November 15th to laborresourcecenter@umb.edu and steve.striffler@umb.edu.
