Looking forward to this!

We are very happy to announce our exciting program for our first project workshop, 5-6 June, on "Writing Global Histories of Socio-Economic Rights" See www.glosoc.org/events/ for a text version of the programme and for details to register for online and in-person attendance.

I'm planning a visit to the Modern Records Centre at Warwick University, and was wondering about overnight accommodation nearby. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Well worth a read! @nielsboender.bsky.social on Julius Nyerere's attitude to trade unionism as a 'brother' in the post-colonial Tanzanian 'family':

Question for fellow historians/archive visitors: if you work with pdfs rather than photos of documents, is there a pdf-converter software or app which you'd recommend? Looking for one which is fairly quick to use (while still producing clear pdfs) so that I don't lose too much time in the archives

If you work on the history of labour rights from an intellectual/protest/policy perspective or any other related approach, do take a look at our call for papers!

The GLOSOC project ( @glosoc.bsky.social ) invites papers for a hybrid summer workshop in Sheffield, UK, on the topic 'Writing Global Histories of Socio-Economic Rights'. Save the dates and do send us a proposal if you'd like to take part in a transnational discussion on histories of work!

Call for Papers for our first event! Join us at our hybrid workshop - Writing Global Histories of Socio-Economic Rights at the University of Sheffield, 5-6 June 2025. Please send us a keyword, abstract, and bio at [email protected]. The deadline is 15 February. See more details below!

📢 Since the new year is underway, it's time for another plug for the new blog posts on the histories of African and European social rights, written by myself and @nielsboender.bsky.social for our research project 'Global Socio-Economic Rights, Local Contexts' ( @glosoc.bsky.social ) bit.ly/4iHrJSG

Our research project on the modern global history of social rights has a new blog page. Do take a look at my account of British and German pensions and healthcare within a European story of social rights (bit.ly/3P5tzz4), and @nielsboender.bsky.social's take on African labour history t.co/RJbQm00030

Hi @michellelkahn.bsky.social, would you be able to add me to the German History starter pack? If so I'd be very grateful!
