There is a lot of common ground with IISH's 'core business', Global Labour History. For instance, most people migrate because they hope to find work elsewhere, or because they are sent to another part of the world by their employer (from soldiers to expats).
The 2019 Global Summit on Labor Migration takes place in the International Institute of Social History on 20-22 june 2019. The deadline for the call for papers is 1 July 2018
We conduct research on work and labour relations since 1500 in all parts of the world and have been at the vanguard internationally in global labour history for many years.
