N2 - Critical Labour Studies (CLS) was established in 2004 as a collective to provide a platform for co-operative and radical research and education. Within the academy the network spans the social sciences in the field of work and employment, but this is only one of its characteristic features. It also includes a range of activists well beyond the academy in both traditional and alternative social and labour movements. The meetings also bring together many in the creative and artistic sectors such as musicians, theatre activists and radical painters from different continents. The network is distinguished by a commitment to the co-production of research, publication, dissemination, public engagement, learning and pedagogic innovation. In this introduction we describe key distiguishing features of the work and purpose of the network and the collective.
