The Labour and Society Research Group Seminar, Professor Tyler Stovall (University of California – Santa Cruz), Mon 2 Oct

The Labour and Society Research Group, based here at Northumbria and at Newcastle University, is hosting Professor Tyler Stovall (University of California – Santa Cruz) Monday, 2 October. Professor Stovall will speak on the topic ‘Race, class, and revolution: insights from 1919’. The seminar will take place in Armstrong Building, Room G08, at 5pm.

Professor Stovall is Distinguished Professor of History and Dean of Humanities at the University of California (Santa Cruz), and is a distinguished transnational historian of labour, colonialism, and race – so his seminar will undoubtedly be of interest to many of us in Humanities. His works include Black France/France Noire: the history and politics of Blackness, Paris and the spirit of 1919: consumer struggles, transnationalism, and revolution (both 2012), and his most recent book, Transnational France: the modern history of a universal nation, was published in 2015.
