Please see the call for participants in the Labour Transfer Summer School, Sardinia, 8th-13th June 2025. The call is open until the close of 15th December.

‘Not a traditional academic summer school but a networking place for labour activism and social justice,’ the Labour Transfer Summer School (labourtransferschool.org) is an independent, not for profit, international initiative of global labour scholars interested in collaborations, synergies and knowledge exchange between academia and social organizations, aiming at producing emancipatory knowledge on labour and social issues. Labour Transfer gives participants a chance to exchange their research interests with academics, labour activists and trade unionists from all over the world.

The learning objectives of Labour Transfer are threefold:

1) to provide a new and sui generis learning environment for labour activists and organisers and for postdoctoral, doctoral and Masters level students specialising in labour studies from different disciplines.

2) to create a global network of students, scholars, institutions, unions, and activists committed to the advancing of knowledge about society and economy from a labour perspective.

3) to raise public awareness and debate on the centrality of labour within our societies

Labour Transfer invites applications from academics (including students, PhDs, and postdocs), labour activists, trade unionists, journalists, and artists from all over the world who are interested in participating in a generative learning environment on labour activism and social justice.

Applications from all participants are assessed based on the letter of motivation, the CV and a short biography. The evaluation process considers the variety of applications' backgrounds to ensure a balance between different profiles (academics, labour activists, trade unionists, artists, journalists, etc.) and between participants of the Global South/North.
