[URPE] [NYC] Two Upcoming SCEPA Events

[urpe-moderator at lists.econ.utah.edu]

Hello everyone -- 

SCEPA is hosting two exciting events next week, including a lecture on
the next generation of jobs and a conference on the role corporations
can and should play in an economic comeback. 

April 20 - Annual Schwartz Lecture 
SCEPA is proud to host Guy Standing, Professor of Economic Security at
the University of Bath, to present the 2010 Irene and Bernard L.
Schwartz Lecture. Professor Standing will discuss "Work after
Globalization: Building Occupational Citizenship." Based on his
ground-breaking book, he will offer a new perspective on work and
citizenship, moving away from the 20th century emphasis on the
importance of capital and focusing on the need of creative labor in
economic development. He will discuss labor practices of the
contemporary world as shaped by states, employers, trade unions, the
globalization of labor markets, and financial market crises.

Please join us on April 20th at 4:00pm at 16 East 16th Street, Room
1009. 

April 22-23 - U.S. Corporations in the Recovery and Beyond
For two days, experts from industry, academe, government and organized
labor will join to discuss companies’ investment behaviors before the
crisis of 2008, how they responded, and how they can contribute to the
re-emergence of a prosperous economy. Through an open-discussion format,
participants will discuss the need for a new industrial policy that
serves American workers, promotes socially-useful technologies and
environmental sustainability, reverses “financialization,” and
reforms executive pay to reward innovation and job creation. This
conference will not follow a traditional academic format, but is
designed to facilitate active discussion amongst and between panelists
and audience members.
