Subject: Announcement: Temple Labor Studies Publishing Project and Working People of Philadelphia Event, Nov. 6

Hello colleagues,

I am pleased to announce a major labor studies publishing project that my wife, Annie Johnson, is leading at the Temple University Libraries and Press. Made possible with a grant from the National Endowment for Humanities for open access publishing, the press is reissuing 30 out-of-print labor studies books and making them freely available online. The first 11 titles are already available: http://tupress.temple.edu/open-access/labor-studies/https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftupress.temple.edu%2Fopen-access%2Flabor-studies%2F&data=02%7C01%7Csagauro%40smlr.rutgers.edu%7Ca2d01a720caf474e374c08d640701bc9%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C0%7C636767248113830267&sdata=BX6Cigbq7f51709zpw5Gmeg8XnExN2Psxvt8vO%2FQMP8%3D&reserved=0

Our LSER colleagues Dorothy Sue Cobble, Sheri Davis-Faulkner, and Fran Ryan have made wonderful contributions to the project. Dorothy Sue wrote a new foreword for Sisterhood and Solidarity: Workers’ Education for Women, 1914-1918, edited by Joyce L. Kornbluh and Mary Frederickson. Sheri wrote a new foreword Labor Education for Women Workers, edited by Barbara Meyer Wertheimer. On Wednesday, November 6, Fran and Sharon McConnell-Sidorick are leading a discussion of Working People of Philadelphia, 1800-1850 by Bruce Laurie at the Philadelphia Ethical Society at 6:00 pm. Check out the announcement for the event below and the flyer attached to this email. Please share the event widely!
