Description
Hosted by the Neil Aggett Labour Studies Unit (NALSU) and the Departments of Sociology and Industrial Sociology, and Economics and Economic History at Rhodes University. The Labour Studies Podcasts are from our popular Labour Studies Seminar Series, launched in 2015. We cover "labour studies" in the broadest sense: labour and left history, policy and political economy, unions and popular struggles.
