David Ranney will join us to talk about his book, Living and Dying on the Factory Floor. He is professor emeritus in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois Chicago. Ranney has also been a factory worker, a labor and community organizer, and an activist academic. He is the author of four books and more than a hundred journal articles, book chapters, and monographs on issues of employment, labor and community organizing, and U.S. trade policy.

After David Ranney’s presentation, Rebecca Lossin, PhD candidate in Communications at Columbia University, will comment on the book. She is writing a dissertation on the theory and practice of sabotage as a form of worker critique and control in the early 20th century United States. Her essays and reviews have appeared in the New Left Review, Jacobin, Public Seminar, The Nation and The Brooklyn Rail.
