To organize the Southern Labor Studies Conference as well as sessions on southern working class history at other venues.
To enhance connections between academics and labor activists in the U.S. South.
To promote working class history in public school curricula and provide resources for public school teachers.
To encourage posting of regional events and discussions of interest to scholars of southern labor on a new list-serve. SLSA imagines a list-serve that would work very, very closely with the editors of H-Labor and cross-posting would be common.
To connect and promote graduate students doing work on southern labor and working class studies (in a variety of disciplines) with one another.
To promote the preservation of materials related to southern labor and working class history.
