Happy June! Now that the semester is over, it's the perfect time to delve into our spring issues!
Be sure to check out Anders Bright's "Poverty's Capital: Labor Coercion and the Origins of the New York Bank for Savings" in our most recent issue!
We hope everyone had a good holiday season and the new year has been treating you well. If one of your new year's resolutions was to read and engage with more commentary and historical essays pertaining to labor - you are in luck! Our latest issue (22:4) is out now! dukeupress.edu/labor
Up first is the Arts & Media essay "The Cost of Compliance" by @rachaelvm454.bsky.social which analyzes Apple TV+’s Severance as a critique of how corporate culture strip workers of autonomy and identity while masking exploitation behind the language of purpose and growth. doi.org/10.1215/1547...
Emily LB Twarog introduces Going Public, a new series appearing in LABOR: Studies in Working-Class History that will explore the intersection between labor history and public history and the role of scholar activists.

Going Public embraces the notion of bravery and collectivity. We want to examine how scholars are engaging w the public.
What are you doing as a scholar-activist?
How can we present our research, teaching, and ideas in creative ways?
