CALL FOR PAPERS

Work Matters:
28th Annual International Labour Process Conference
Rutgers University, March, 15-17, 2010

After short and successful trips to Amsterdam and Dublin in recent years, its 28th year sees the International Labour Process Conference making a bigger journey, with the event hosted for the first time in North America. It will be organised at Rutgers by an experienced team at one of the leading labour studies departments in the country. Located in New Jersey, Rutgers is close to New York (and particularly Newark Airport) and should prove an attractive destination for traditional ILPC attendees.  With exciting new streams and issues, the 2010 event provides a great opportunity for diverse groups of labour-oriented workplace researchers from different continents to communicate and collaborate. We urge you all to attend and support the conference.The ILPC web site now has all the information about additional special streams for the 2010 event, as well as the call for papers and papers from the 27th conference. www.ilpc.org.uk
