XVI Nordic Labour History Conference 2025
Labouring lives at the intersection of institutions, structures and experiences
The four-day event is co-organised by the Finnish Society for Labour History and the history degree programme at Tampere University in collaboration with the Finnish Labour Museum Werstas, the Finnish Labour Archives, the Library of the Labour Movement, the People’s Archives, as well as the Nordic Labour History Network.

Operating under the thematic umbrella of Labouring lives at the intersection of institutions, structures, and experiences, the conference seeks to spotlight different factors that have shaped the lives of workers in the Nordic region and beyond. We will explore the challenges faced by the Nordic welfare state and social democracy, as well as disruptions in the labor market. Additionally, we will address topics such as labour coercion, gender equality, and the evolving perspectives within the histories of colonialism and indigenous peoples that prompt a reexamination of labour history. We are also keen to explore methodologies and embrace new opportunities presented by digital tools in the historical study of labour.
