International Workers’ Day ‘Labour Law in Context’ Online Exhibition
To celebrate International Workers’ Day (May Day) we have organised an online exhibition to showcase some of the policy briefs realised by students of Labour Law in Context (LA3A6) over the years. These group policy briefs are part of the assessment for the module and aim to encourage students to engage with current labour law debates and learn about policy writing as a tool for legal change. For students this is also an opportunity to value the importance of teamwork, negotiate positions, and work towards a common goal.
Labour Law students engage with MRC archives
For their final lecture, Labour Law in Context students had the opportunity to learn about the Modern Records Centre (MRC) archives and explore historical documents through a hands-on interactive exercise. Founded in 1973 and located adjacent to the Warwick campus Library, the MRC is the main British repository for national archives of trade unions and labour relations.
