VI Labor History Workshop

II International Worlds of Labor Conference

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

27-30, November 2012

Call for papers: http://cpdoc.fgv.br/en/mundosdotrabalho/callforpapers 

The members of the Workgroup “Worlds of Labor” – Brazilian History
Association (GT “Mundos do Trabalho” - ANPUH) invite researchers to
submit presentation proposals for the VI Labor History Workshop, to be
held jointly with the II International “Worlds of Labor” Conference.
The event will take place November 27th - 30th Center for Research and
Documentation on Brazilian Contemporary History - Getulio Vargas
Foundation (CPDOC/FGV), Rio de Janeiro. Presentation proposals must be
based on empirical research, theoretical and methodological debates
and assessments of the academic production that enable the dialogue
with others interested in similar themes.

The Workgroup “Worlds of Labor” – an official section of the Brazilian
History Association – has been playing a fundamental role in the
diffusion of the increasing Brazilian labor historiography and in
fomenting domestic and international inter-exchanges.  Since its
creation, in 2001, the WG promotes thematic conferences inside ANPUH
bi-annual national symposiums and, in alternate years, workshops for
researchers in the field. In 2010, the I International “Worlds of
Labor” Conference was held jointly to the V Labor History Workshop.

The main aim of this event is to provide for the presentation of
research taking place in a variety of academic disciplines about labor
history in Brazil and in other parts of the world. We pretend to
foment the collaboration between researchers on the field and the
discussion of the current agenda for historical studies on the worlds
of labor, both at the domestic and at the global fronts. We expect
that proposed papers will debate the worlds of labor as broadly and
comprehensively as possible.

The VI Labor History Workshops and the II International “Worlds of
Labor” Conference will comprise roundtables and coordinated sessions.
The round table be composed by invited national and international
specialists. The coordinated sessions are open to registration, and
proposals can be made either for individual presentations or for
complete sessions (with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 4
participants). Proposals based on interdisciplinary and inter-
institutional connections, as well as those involving different
countries and regions are particularly welcome.


Format of proposals and registration:

Proposals for individual presentations or for complete sessions must
contain a resume of up to 300 words by participant, the title of the
presentation, the name and a brief (10 lines) resumed CV of the
author(s). Proposals for complete sessions must also include the title
and resume of the session.

Acceptance letter will provide specific guidelines on the format of
the final papers, that must be sent in advance as a condition for
concluding the registration process and securing the inclusion of the
presentations previously approved in the final program.

Resumes and final papers can be written in Portuguese, Spanish, and
English, the official languages of the event.

submitted by any other means than through the event official website: www.cpdoc.fgv.br/mundosdotrabalho
