Struggling for Recognition: The Individual in Labour History

On Friday 21 November 2003, a conference entitled 'Struggling for Recognition: the Individual in Labour History' was held at the Women's College of the University of Sydney. The conference was organised by the Discipline of Work and Organisational Studies at the University of Sydney, as part of their 50th anniversary celebrations, and in conjunction with the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History. The conference co-ordinators were Mark Hearn and Harry Knowles, both of Work and Organisational Studies, who are also the editors of a thematic section of the November 2004 edition of Labour History which will carry peer-reviewed papers based on the conference presentations.
