Dear all,
The International Socialism journal is holding a one day conference
Work, Class and Resistance:

an opportunity to discuss and debate the shape of the working class today
and the potential for resistance.
Plenary sessions:
The Working Class Today
Resistance and Organisation
Workshops:
Theorising Class
The State of Workplace Organisation
Precarity and Poverty
Social Media
