Each year, IRLE hosts Visiting Scholars and Visiting Student Researchers who come to the Berkeley campus to work on independent research projects that contribute to the study of labor and employment issues. This workshop is an opportunity for visitors to present research at various stages of development and gain feedback from their peers and the IRLE research community.

GUESTS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
