Associate Director of Internships and Experiential Learning
Union Semester and Community Semester are unique semester-long experiential learning programs that combine rigorous academic study with hands-on experience and opportunities to gain the academic and practical skills to effect change. The Union Semester program pairs students from across the country and around the world with labor unions and worker-rights organizations to learn firsthand the strategies these organizations use to fight for worker rights. Community Semester provides local students with an opportunity to learn how community-based organizations fight for social and economic justice, housing rights, immigrant rights, tenants’ rights, and community empowerment. Other internships are currently being developed with city and state legislative bodies and agencies. The Associate Director of Internships and Experiential Learning will design, implement and manage the Union and Community Semester Programs, and develop other specialized internship initiatives.

“CHALLENGING MONOPOLY”
 
featuring Zephyr Teachout
 
Throughout much of U.S. history, anti-trust movements – joined by farmers, laborers, abolitionists, and small businesspeople – were a force to be reckoned with in American politics. Then, in the late 1970s, anti-monopoly fervor began to subside and remained dormant for the next 40 years.
 
The tides have now begun to change, with the appointment of leading anti-trust experts to the Biden administration, and a growing number of labor and grassroots organizers once again taking aim at monopoly power. This history and the present urgency of anti-trust organizing is the subject of episode 22 of Reinventing Solidarity.
