May Day 2010 Conference a Huge Success
In Chicago during May Day weekend 2010, the Institute of Working Class History sponsored a conference titled "A Century+ of May Days: Labor and Social Struggles International Conference" to discuss, debate and analyze labor and social struggles, both past and present.
Some folks have been discussing holding another conference next year, perhaps not during the May Day weekend, but some weeks before or after. The theme "The Paris Commune, 1871–2011" has been suggested. The conference, of course, wouldn't only be about the Paris Commune, but the Paris Commune would be a touchstone to talk about many workers struggles, leftist ideas and so on.
Please feel free to e-mail IWCH with your thoughts on holding a conference next year and with your thoughts on the theme on the theme "The Paris Commune, 1871–2011."
