CALL FOR PAPERS
June14-17, 2007
Class Matters: Working-Class Culture and Counter-Culture
Annual Conference of the Working-Class Studies Association
Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota
Dormitory housing available
This conference will explore working-class culture in all its forms “ activism, pop culture, the arts, storytelling, and more. Working-class culture can be a source of unity as well as division, and it is constructed in the workplace as well as in the realms of "leisure" and popular culture. At this conference, we hope to explore the relationships between "cultural workers" and their audiences, control over the means of cultural production (publishers, music producers, universities, etc.), and the commodification of working-class culture, among other issues. We are eager to provide a venue in which scholars of working-class culture using Humanities and Social Science frames and lenses can come together with each other, and with creators of working-class culture.
How has working-class culture changed over time? Is there is a diasporic, transnational, and/or global working-class culture? How do working-class people use representations, organizations, and everyday life to resist the dominant culture? How does working-class culture reflect divisions among working-class people?
We invite proposals for presentations, panels, posters, roundtables, and performances. Submit 1-page abstracts with a brief biographical statement January 15, 2007 to:
Peter Rachleff
History Department

Or by email to rachleff@macalester.edu.
