This is something I’ve been thinking about for quite a while now. I hope to speak at the Irish Centre for the Histories of Labour and Class Conference in November on the direction I think working-class studies should take. In the meantime, I’ve put together a book to be published the end of next month called ‘Locked Out: A Century of Irish Working-Class Life’. The book aims to use the centenary of the Lockout to bring working-class studies to a wider audience, and suggest ways in which it should move forward. It features 12 chapters by a new generation of scholars, some familiar to readers, on working-class history and culture over the past century. I’ll post more in due course, just thought this thread was a good opportunity to give a heads-up. See the post on Amazon for a blurb http://www.amazon.co.uk/Locked-Out-Century-Irish-Working-Class/dp/0716532026/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3BL6D80RKOQ66&coliid=I10QOD846BBLW8
