The Movements + Activists/Scholars initiative takes a labour and social movements-first approach to linking academia, work and labour around a re-envisioning of knowledge production. It aims to account for the learning and action strategies needed to respond to the challenges presented by the shifting nature of work, labour and livelihoods globally.
The GLRC prioritizes the ‘intellectual lives’ of labour and social movements, building initiatives such as a radical worker education incubator, strengthening global connections between research institutes and centres focused on labour studies with a particular interest in worker education, and providing learning pathways for labour educators, students and workers.
