Speaker: Marissa Knaak, MSU Department of History

In "The Limits of Prosperity: Women's work and class in the department store," MSU History professor Marissa Knaak looks at early department stores in Britain and Germany to discuss the intersections of work and class. By interpreting the department store as an industrialized workplace, she considers how sales assistants, particularly women, wielded different knowledges to solidify their class standing. 

All presentations take place in the Green Room, 4th floor, MSU Library from 12:00pm - 1:15pm ET, and are available as an online webinar at https://msu.zoom.us/j/97496813137. The password is odwodl.

Our Daily Work, Our Daily Lives

"Our Daily Work / Our Daily Lives" is a joint project that focuses on the artistic traditions of workers and on workplaces as contexts for the expression of workers culture. The richness and diversity of workers' experiences and workers culture is explored and presented through an ongoing series of exhibits, lectures, and presentations; writing and research projects; reunions; and demonstrations and discussions.

The program was established in 1992 and is coordinated by the Michigan Traditional Arts Program at the MSU Museum and the Labor Education Program in the College of Social Science's School of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
