About the 2013 Toronto UALE Conference
Labor educators from unions, worker centers, colleges, university, and community-based organizations will be exploring the various strategies workers are employing to counter the politics of austerity and systematic attacks on workers’ rights and union movements in nations throughout the world.
UALE invites proposals on topics across the entire span of the challenges facing working people. We are especially interested in what workers are saying and doing as they assert fundamental rights such as the right to bargain collectively, enjoy union representation, obtain education, and remain safe at work. We are also interested in how modern labor education helps working people assert these rights amid a climate of economic austerity, systematic inequality, and overt political attacks.
Proposals may draw from all disciplines and assume many forms, including:
• Research Papers
Completed research papers in any of the topic areas listed above or related areas.
• Case Studies
Case studies in any of the topic areas listed above or related areas.
• Papers on Issues Related to Teaching
Reports related to innovative instruction techniques or research related to teaching in any of the topic areas listed above or related areas.
We also welcome strategic or academic reports; qualitative or quantitative analyses; teaching demonstrations; labor history research, curriculum for adults or K-12; union membership training tools; case studies; workshops; general curriculum design; strategy sessions and performances, music, art, including public art, and theater.
Format of Presentations:
Paper sessions will consist of three to five presentations combined in each 90 minute session. The session will be divided equally between the presenters. A session moderator will time each presentation and introduce the session.
