Fall 2025 Gatherings

Friday, September 12—Labor Questions: What’s Happening at Work, in Labor Markets, and Labor Movements

In this kickoff session, we heard what faculty members are researching, how our Student Labor Fellows spent their summer, and what folks would like to discuss in future sessions: unions? AI? wages? migration? laws? public policy? trustbusting? race & gender equality?

Friday, October 31—The Gig Economy: The Future of Work?

In this session, Billy Bonnist (POLS ’26, with minors in Business & Economic History and the Hesburgh Minor in Public Service) will facilitate our discussion. Some non-required reading to get the conversation started are available as a publicly accessible Zotero group library.
