The Labor Lab at the Center for Political Economy, Columbia University and Cornell ILR School has issued an invite for submissions for the Political Economy of Work Junior Scholar Workshop to be held at Columbia University (New York, NY) on December 5-6, 2025.
Participants will receive feedback on their scholarship from a senior scholar in the field, comments from fellow junior scholars, and advice about career development. Confirmed commentators thus far include: Kate Andrias (law); Brishen Rogers (law); Hiba Hafiz (law); Alex Hertel-Fernandez (political science); Suresh Naidu (economics); and Adam Reich (sociology).
Who Can Apply? Scholars who write in the field of work and labor, broadly defined, in law, social science (economics, political science, sociology) or history are welcome to apply. Preference will be given to scholars without tenure, including post docs or fellows, but recently tenured scholars are welcome to apply as well. Submissions are also welcome from graduate students or law students interested in academia, as are papers from practitioners, clinicians, and writing faculty.
