The Labor and Working-Class History Association is delighted to announce another round of travel grants designed to facilitate graduate student participation in labor history conferences taking place during 2007. The award will facilitate participation in either the LAWCHA-Southern Labor Studies conference, titled “Working Class Activism in the South and the Nation: Contemporary Challenges in Historical Context” (Duke University, Durham, NC; May 17-19, 2007), or the annual North American Labor History Conference (Wayne State University, Detroit; October 2007).
Proposals including 1-2 page abstracts, choice of conference, and a brief vita must be received via email or at the address below no later than March 31, 2007. Grants will be in the range of $250 and will be judged by the LAWCHA Prize Committee (Kevin Boyle of Ohio State University, Lisa Fine of Michigan State University, and Laurie Mercier of Washington State University). All graduate student proposals chosen for inclusion in the conference programs will be considered by the committee for travel grant support, but funds will only allow support for a maximum of three or four graduate student participants. Recipients should be graduate students at the time of the 2007 North American Labor History Conference. Consideration shall be on the basis of the paper proposal and vita.
