Wisconsin School Session

Session Title Wisconsin School Session
Organizer Wisconsin School
Time and Venue July 24(Tue.), 16:00~17:30 / 308A (Conference Room South)
Program Chair Thomas Kochan MIT
Speakers Helio Zylberstei University of Sao Paulo
Adrienne Eaton Rutgers University

Panelists Harry Katz Cornell University

Janice Bellace Wharton School, Univ. of Pennsylvania
Description It is highly appropriate to devote a session to the impact of the “Wisconsin School” on the field of labor and employment relations at this 50th Anniversary World Congress of the International Labor and Employment Relations Association (ILERA). The University of Wisconsin has been a source of ideas and values that have shaped our field of research and teaching for well over a century.

There is another reason to reflect on the Wisconsin legacy at this particular point in time. The values and ideas that define our field of study are being severely challenged by current and possibly future conditions at work and in some cases are under direct attack in the United States and in other parts of the world. So as we reflect on our legacy and traditions we also need to look forward and ask:

How will we address these current challenges in ways that are both true to our values and are well-grounded in the theories and research needed to shape the future of work and employment relationships?

Today’s realities and the challenges of our time call on us to revisit and recommit to the values and research traditions of the Wisconsin School but to do so with the same focus on generating new ideas grounded in solid theory and empirical research that are equivalent in power and influence to those that produced the policy innovations of the New Deal and the employment and training policies, workplace equality and justice, and the public sector collective bargaining rights in the 1960s. The challenges facing our generation and indeed most likely the next generation as well. Let’s use this Congress, and particularly this session, to see if we are up to the task.
