CALL FOR PAPERS
XVI Nordic Labour History Conference 2025
Labouring lives at the intersection of institutions, structures, and experiences
Deadline for session and paper proposals: October 31, 2024
Notification of acceptance: November 29, 2024
The XVI Nordic Labour History Conference, taking place at Tampere University, Finland from
7th to 10th May 2025, continues the trajectory set forth by previous conferences in
Copenhagen 2022 and Reykjavík 2016 of broadening the scope of labour history with new
approaches. This includes defining what constitutes labour, examining where labour occurs
and under what conditions, reconsidering the notions of the working class and ‘the
worker,’ and acknowledging diverse forms of labour organising, collective action as well
as working-class culture.
Operating under the thematic umbrella of Labouring lives at the intersection of
institutions, structures, and experiences, the conference seeks to spotlight different
factors that have shaped the lives of workers in the Nordic region and beyond. We will
explore the challenges faced by the Nordic welfare state and social democracy, as well as
disruptions in the labor market. Additionally, we will address topics such as labour
coercion, gender equality, and the evolving perspectives within the histories of
colonialism and indigenous peoples that prompt a reexamination of labour history. We are
also keen to explore methodologies and embrace new opportunities presented by digital
tools in the historical study of labour.
