Call for papers
for a forthcoming conference at The Centre for printing history and culture
Printers unite! Print and protest from the early modern to the present
‘Printers unite!’ is a phrase that evokes the historic solidarities and struggles of printers and their eventual consolidation into a single trade union, Unite. On the 90th and 30th anniversaries of the General Strike and the Wapping Dispute, this two-day conference at the Marx Memorial Library will explore the role of printers and print as agents and vehicles of protest.
The conference will take place on the 3 and 4 November, 2016.
Proposals should be submitted before 25 March, 2016.
