Working Lives Research Institute
This new series will bring together a range of activists and academics, to explore experiences of work-related discrimination and corresponding categories of mobilisation. Keeping in step with our close ties with the labour movement, each session will also raise issues for trade unionists in Britain, as they attempt to organise marginalised workers and tackle inequalities.
We warmly welcome
you all to come and listen to the views and theories of our prominent
and diverse range of speakers. Please join us in debating contemporary
issues of social justice on the first Wednesday of every month from
12.45 to 2pm over a sandwich lunch. These public seminars are open to
all. However, since we will be providing a sandwich lunch, we would be
grateful if you could inform us of your intention to attend by emailing
Max Watson at <m.watson@londonmet.ac.uk>
