The ILR School’s new Global Labor and Work Department brings together scholars who are examining rapidly unfolding changes that impact labor and management worldwide.

Faculty members are rooted in the social sciences, the humanities and law. They study issues in regions across the globe, including Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, the Middle East and North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The Global Labor and Work Department builds on the legacies of the Labor Relations, Law, and History Department and the International and Comparative Labor Department.

According to Alexander Colvin, Ph.D. ’99, “The Department of Global Labor and Work will constitute the world’s premier academic department in the fields of labor and employment relations. It brings together an exceptional set of scholars from multiple disciplines studying issues of work, labor and employment. The global breadth of the department provides the ability to conduct research and offer academic programs with unparalleled international reach.” A member of the Global Labor and Work faculty, Colvin is ILR’s Kenneth F. Kahn ’69 Dean and Martin F. Scheinman ’75, M.S. ’76, Professor of Conflict Resolution.
