Undergrad & Grad Workshop: How to Study Labor and Migration, with Paul Apostolidis (LSE)

September 3 @ 4:00 pm 5:30 pm

Location: Mergenthaler 366

The Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism is pleased to host Professor Paul Apostolidis (Government, London School of Economics), who will lead a workshop with undergraduate and graduate students on methods and approaches to studying labor and migration. The conversation will be wide-ranging, and students are encouraged to bring questions pertaining to their own related research topics.

Prof. Apostolidis specializes in critical theory and integrating empirical inquiry into methods of political theory. A major arm of his research derives insights for critiques of capitalism and racial domination from fieldwork with Latinx migrant workers’ organizations and communities in the western United States. Most recently, Prof. Apostolidis published The Fight For Time: Migrant Day Laborers and the Politics of Precarity with Oxford University Press.

Please RSVP: ricjhu [at] jhu.edu. Attendees will receive an article by Prof. Apostolidis to read in advance of the workshop.

This event is open to undergraduate and graduate students.
