SUMMARY:Book Talk: "Urban Sustainability in the Age of Climate Justice: Lessons from Metro Phoenix"
DESCRIPTION:Thoughtful people look to cities for evidence that progress is being made in the fight to avert climate change. The “sustainable cities” movement is thriving all across the world\, and mayors compete for the title of “greenest city in America.” In this lecture\, drawing on his own research in the metro Phoenix area\, Andrew Ross shows that the key solutions are more social than technical in nature. Marketing a green lifestyle to affluent residents will create showpiece sustainable enclaves\, but will not alter the patterns of “eco-apartheid” that afflicts most large U.S. cities.\nRoss’s new book\, Bird On Fire\, based on extensive interviews in the region\, looks at some of Phoenix’s biggest challenges–water management\, urban growth\, immigration policy\, pollution\, energy supply\, and downtown revitalization–in light of his arguments for policies that promote environmental justice.

SUMMARY:"Working for Nothing: The Latest Fast-Growth Sector?"
DESCRIPTION:Corporate profits have never been higher\, at a time when the real unemployment has soared.  Have bosses learned how to get by without workers? Not really\, but the evidence suggests a growing reliance on new kinds of free labor to boost the balance sheet of companies that are canny enough to harvest it. Free\, or token-wage\, labor is increasingly available though a variety of channels: crowdsourcing\, data-mining\, prosumerism\,  or other sophisticated digital techniques for extracting rents from user/participants; expanded prison labor programs; the explosion of unpaid near-obligatory internships in every white-collar sector; and the whole gamut of contestant volunteering that has transformed so much of our commerce in culture into an amateur talent show\, with jackpot stakes for a few winners and hard-luck schwag for everyone else.

SUMMARY:Annual Ben Aaron Labor Law Lecture: "Rhetoric\, Reaction and Rule of Law at the NLRB"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Wilma Liebman\, former Chair of the National Labor Relations Board\nFrom Wisconsin to Capitol Hill\, we have witnessed an escalating battle over the very legitimacy of labor law and existence of collective bargaining rights. The political and economic environment in which this conflict is occurring has ratcheted up the attacks and overheated the rhetoric\, exposing a divide as profound as any on the domestic policy front. While the NLRB\, from the beginning\, has been no stranger to controversy\, events of the last few years have represented a record accumulation of difficulties. Recent actions by the Board and its Acting General Counsel\, including efforts to revitalize the Agency and its procedures\, have triggered intense reactions by Congress\, the business community\, and the media.  While the imperative for a sober dialogue over a fair labor policy could not be more real\, what we have instead is rancorous political rhetoric.\nFormer NLRB Chairman Wilma Liebman will discuss the Board’s recent activities\, the political controversy they have triggered\, and the persistent challenges to the enduring values of the National Labor Relations Act — including the rule of law itself — all critical to a democratic society and a fair economy.

SUMMARY:"Labor in the Global South: A Search for Solutions"
DESCRIPTION:It is critical to reexamine the position of labor in the global South\, in the context of momentous changes underway in the global economic and political order. Consider some of those changes: Newly rising powers\, such as Brazil\, China\, and South Africa\, are assuming greater roles. Increasing numbers of voices are questioning neoliberal prescriptions and market fundamentalist solutions\, and pushing for a broader conception of development that includes social as well as economic dimensions. New movements for democracy are stirring in the Middle East\, along with continuing struggles over the degree and nature of democracy across Asia\, Africa\, and Latin America. At the same time\, informal and irregular employment continue to make up a huge proportion of jobs in the global South\, and the fickleness of global capital flows undermines attempts to carry out sustainable development and upgrade job quality. The UN estimates that over 200 million people world-wide are international migrants (above all from poorer to richer countries)\, and migrant remittances constitute a major income strategy for families and indeed whole countries in the South.\nIn this context\, it is important to take stock of the state of work and workers in the global South\, and to share best practices and critiques of strategies to upgrade jobs and empower workers. This conference will bring together graduate students from the United States and around the world to bring their own research to bear on these issues. The goal is not just to exchange information\, but to advance discussions about strategies and solutions. To this end\, graduate student presentations\, which will make up the bulk of conference content\, will be supplemented by innovative labor-related practitioners from the South\, in addition to senior academics from the United States.
