Overview
The Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor at Georgetown University develops creative strategies and innovative policies to improve workers’ lives. Its New Social Compact project envisions, defines, and establishes the foundation for a new social contract that centers equity and inclusion in a post-neoliberal economy and society. The program’s June 2022 virtual global gathering will help lay the groundwork for large-scale, innovative structural change by focusing on pandemic-era worker activism and its intersections with health, housing, education, climate, care, race, and gender. The program has a diverse 46-member Advisory and Organizing Committee, and the conference will engage broad audiences across the globe.
