Annelise Orleck, professor of history and co-chair of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Dartmouth College, will deliver the 2025 Alice Cook-Lois Gray Distinguished Lecture on April 15.
“Poverty Wages, 'We're Not Lovin' It': Gender, Race and Inequality Rising in the 21st Century” begins at 4:30 p.m. in the ILR Conference Center, 423 King-Shaw Hall, at 140 Garden Avenue. The public is invited and can register here. In-person attendance is encouraged.
The talk will examine the transformative moment in labor history that began around 2010, when low-wage workers in service, retail, garment, and farm work began organizing global labor actions of unprecedented scale involving workers on six continents and in scores of countries.
This year’s lecture is co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of Inequality; Cornell Center for Social Sciences; Cornell Population Center; Department of Sociology; Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program; and the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy.
