SYMPOSIUM – “Catalonia and the Labor Movement”

Catalonia always has had a special significance in the history of the international labor movement. In the academic world, especially in the fields of the humanities and social sciences, Catalonia often is associated with strong labor activism. International interest in the Catalan labor movement, with all its factions and internal conflicts, is particularly intense in the English-speaking world, which has a long tradition of studies of the political progressivism of the Iberian lands.
