Lram 2015: Texto I - Conference 'The Social Question in Global Perspective'

Date: 17 November 2014 to 18 November 2014
Location: IISH Amsterdam
(1)The Social Question in a Global Perspective is a Conference organized by the
Amsterdam Institute of Social Science Research and the International Institute of Social
History in collaboration with Re: Work Berlin and the University of Hamburg.
Researchers from India, Brazil, Africa, Hungary, the Netherlands and other countries will
rethink the concept of (5)the working class and the ways in which it can further its
interests. Traditional forms of collective action that have developed in the North Atlantic
region are gradually losing much of their impact. New forms are emerging, though these
are
often
still
at
an
embryonic
stage.
If you would like to participate, please send a message to Marcel van der Linden orJan
Breman.
