SUMMARY:UCLA Industry Power Research Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Industry Power Research Bootcamp\nConvened by the UCLA Strategic Research Lab\nJoin the labor and other social movement researchers from around the country to learn the best ways to approach industry-based research and apply your findings to build industry-wide power. \nAs the NLRB continues to come under attack\, unions and other labor groups that organize are increasingly looking at industries\, not companies. To succeed\, we need to understand how industries work and what powers and limitations come with a sectoral approach to campaigning. \nIn this five-day training\, you will learn the basics of how to research an industry and explain your findings to members and other staff. We will bring expert campaigners to discuss key aspects of sectoral research\, including: \n\nBounding your industry and understanding the product\nHow to think about supply chains\nSpatial concentration and its effects on bosses and workers\nIntersections between your industry and government regulators and policymakers\nConsiderations behind sectoral standards campaigns\n\nThe camp is designed for any movement researchers\, strategic campaigners\, activists\, or organizers wanting to better understand how to think about sector-wide strategies. \nThe 2026 Industry Research Power Bootcamp applications window has closed. Stay tuned for information about future camps offered by the UCLA Strategic Research Lab and our annual Strategic Labor Research Conference! \n\nAbout The UCLA Strategic Research Lab:\nThe UCLA Strategic Research Lab is a capacity-building training hub and network for researchers from labor and community-based organizations. As a research unit of a public university\, the SRL seeks to train strategic researchers for the common good. Besides the Coding Camp for Union Research\, the Strategic Research Lab also holds its annual Strategic Labor Research Conference\, one of the largest annual convenings of labor and movement researchers in the nation.  \nSign up for email updates for other Strategic Research Lab events and trainings here.
