This event, organized by Dr. Ching-In Chen, is taking place on Zoom in conjunction with BCULST 587/BISIA 410: Labor Stories During Pandemic Times. The event is free and open to the public, with pre-registration. Zoom links will be e-mailed on the day of the talk. 

This event is the culmination of this school year's Labor in Times of Crises, a series of online talks that investigated and explored the exacerbated, economic fault lines for working-class lives in times of crisis. Each meeting featured a talk by a visiting scholar and/or artist and discussion, including topics such as the carceral and unresponsive state, alternate and solidarity economies, and community storytelling, and organized by UWB Labor Colloquium faculty members Dr. Dan Berger, Dr. S. Charusheela, Dr. Joseph Ferrare, and Dr. Kari Lerum, coordinated by Dr. Ching-In Chen with assistance from Graduate Assistant Simon Wolf.

The colloquium culminated in Spring 2021, advanced creative writing class (BCULST 587/BISIA 410), focusing on Labor Stories During Pandemic Times, with community collaborations. This event is a celebration of the work this class has created. 
Sponsored by the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington.
 
Pre-register to receive an e-mail with the Zoom details on the day of the event. This talk and conversation is open to the public and will be recorded.
