Abstract

On 17–18 April 2004, the Midwest Labor and Working-Class History Colloquium (MLWCH) met at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Formed in 1994, MLWCH is a consortium of graduate students and faculty connected to the Midwest either through research interest or institutional affiliation. MLWCH exists to foster scholarly exchange amongst the field's future and current practitioners, provide an informal setting for students to present and receive feedback on their research, and nurture the collegial relationships that are essential to the study of history. This year's colloquium brought together eighteen graduate students and featured three events: an open forum on the question “Is it Labor or Working-Class History?” two roundtable discussions on participants' research, and a faculty-led roundtable on professional development.
