The key areas of the conference include (but are not limited to) the following:

Pedagogy and class studies
Class representations in popular culture
Class issues in academia
Labor unions in contemporary culture
Social outreach and activism

Interested parties and individuals are encouraged to submit their proposals by Friday, Dec. 1, to classcon@bgsu.edu. No cost to submit. Free for both in-person and online attendance.
