Program Theme - "Labor"
One of the basic dimensions of any economy is
labor. This meeting is devoted to understanding the range of ways
labor has been organized and the relationships of those with other
dimensions of social, political and ecological systems and historical
processes. Some issues include the Visibility of Labor (labor
devoted to household production and reproduction that often escapes
analysis because it is not visible in the public arena); Control
of Labor (in state ordered societies, the range of means of controlling
labor from the market through various forms of corvee, conscript
and slave labor); Labor and Identity (in some systems, the labor
one does is an important dimension of identity and self conception);
Labor and State Policy (in market organized economies, state policy
is especially important as it lays down the terms for labor organizing);
Labor and Globalized Economy (labor transcends national, ethnic
and other boundaries).
Abstracts for Poster Session:
Abstracts for the poster session are still being
accepted. Abstracts should be between 250 and 500 words and may
have bibliographies. The abstract submission should include a
title, institutional affiliation, address, telephone number, FAX
and EMAIL address. Email addresses are especially necessary to
facilitate more efficient communication. Send an abstract to BOTH
conference organizers.
Lodging/Travel
The meeting will be held at the Park East Hotel.
916 East State Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 (www.parkeasthotel.com)
overlooking Lake Michigan. Rooms will be $79, single or double
(up to four persons) including free continental breakfast and
parking, conference rate; reservations must be made by March 18,
2001, by calling (or writing) the hotel, 1-800-328-PARK (7275)
or 414-276-8800. Mention that you will be attending the SEA conference.
Park East is a full-service hotel with meeting rooms, a fitness
room, business facilities, concierge, shuttle service to downtown,
and a newly redesigned restaurant. Milwaukee's extensive lakefront
park is close by. There are an impressive variety of ethnic and
fine restaurants within walking distance. Concert halls, theaters,
and a sports arena are in the district.
Transportation
Midwest Express is the principal airline
serving Milwaukee, offering non-stop flights from nearly all
major cities. Rated #1 by Zagat and Condé Nast, Midwest Express
rates are competitive with other economy fares (reservations 1-800,
mention Convention File Number CMZ1019; www.midwestexpress.com),
the planes are entirely first-class with wide seats two abreast
and good food (really! [Alice Kehoe's comment]) served on china.
Lunch flights have chocolate-chip cookies baked on board. Midwest
Express offers SEA 10% off fares with a 60-day advance purchase,
6% off any later published fare, good flights between April 23
and May 2. Van shuttle from the airport is $8.50 per person, a
$1 discount with Midwest Express ticketing if you use Airport
Connection (1-800-236-5450). National Car Rental offers discounted
rates in conjunction with Midwest Express tickets, mention ID#5710053
when calling National, 1-800-CAR-RENT. Other major airlines also
fly into Milwaukee*s Mitchell Field, twenty minutes from downtown.
(A good used-book shop graces the main terminal concourse at the
airport.) Taxis from the airport to the Park East are $20 (taxi
may be shared, up to five people), or van service that circles
the downtown hotels including Park East charges $10.50 per person.
If you drive, take I-94 to dowtown Milwaukee, 794 East to Van
Buren Street (left) exit, six blocks north to State Street, turn
right to Park East Hotel.
Luncheon
A luncheon served to us in the hotel on
Friday will feature Frank Zeidler, Socialist mayor of Milwaukee
from 1950 to 1962, speaking on Milwaukee's labor history and its
decades of "sewer socialism," pragmatic social-democratic politics
that began with the influx of refugee intellects from the Revolutions
of '48 (1848!), harbored the Progressive Party half a century
later, fostered Golda Meir until she immigrated to Israel, and
still flavors a strong union town.
Banquet
Saturday evening we will enjoy a private
banquet in the Brown Bottle Pub, once the tasting room of the
Schlitz Brewery, now the gem of the renovated brewery buildings
housing light industry and offices. Golda Meir attended school
across the street.
Local Arrangements
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Anthropology
Department is your host, with Alice Kehoe and Kal Applbaum making
the arrangements. UW-M is two miles north of the Park East Hotel,
Marquette University and the Central Public Library two miles
west, all with archival collections on labor history. Accompanying
family will enjoy Milwaukee Public Museum's great walk-into dioramas
(this is where Carl Akely invented the habitat diorama), one of
the country*s finest zoos including a major bonobo breeding group,
the Pabst Mansion, and other architectural restorations, and perhaps
the best-preserved Frederick Law Olmsted park system, Uneau and
Lake Parks along the lake a block from the hotel. To watch the
working class at play, try that Milwaukee institution, the Friday
night fish fry; Potawatomi Casino with five new restaurants inside
is another option. If you have special interests or need baby
sitting, contact Alice Kehoe, 414-962-5937, or snail-mail 3014
N.Shepard Ave., Milwaukee WI 53211-3436.
