The Higgins Labor Program (HLP) is an interdisciplinary unit of the Center for Social Concerns sponsoring research, education, and community engagement on issues involving work -- from organization (who does what work?) to representation (what are the rules?) to distribution (how are the fruits of work allocated?). Learn more about our mission, history, and staff.
Throughout the academic year, the Higgins Labor Program sponsors a plethora of opportunities open to the public, from lectures to discussions to films. Guided by the Catholic social tradition's commitment to the dignity of labor and those who perform it, our programs emphasize the human element at the core of all economic questions.
