Individual and Collective Action

How do people perceive their position and social inequality and how do they try to change their situation individually and collectively? Projects look at individual life courses, social mobility, collective action and the trade union movement.

HUB Global Labour Conflicts

28 February 2022 16:23

In 2015, the International Institute of Social History Launched the HUB Global Labour Conflicts project. The goal of the HUB is to develop a new data collaboration which collects information about labour conflicts through time and space. By doing this, the HUB hopes to enable researchers to conduct comparative analyses and link information about labour conflicts. The project was set up by Sjaak van der Velden who collected data from various sources on strikes and work stoppages. During his time at the IISH Sjaak worked together with colleagues from the field to publish 56 different datasets on the IISH Dataverse. Today the project is overseen by Rosa Kösters.
