IISH Masterclass on Global Labour History

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the IISH
22-26 November 2010

On 25 November the IISH celebrates its 75th Anniversary. One of the activities will be the launch of the first Masterclass on Global Labour History.

The masterclass aims at providing an intensive course on global labour history, combining theoretical literature and primary sources available at the Institute. On the last day results will be presented to a wider audience. Apart from the classes during the day, students will be able to work individually and in teams at the Institute which for this purpose will be open until 10 pm (22:00). Common lunches (12:00) and dinners (18:00) will be provided.

The masterclass is meant for PhD students from different countries and different parts of the world. For a limited number of participants travelcosts and accommodation will be provided. All meals and IISH research facilities are included
