Labor of Transport."

*CFP: People-Works: The Labor of Transport (2018 Online Exhibit)*

The *Mobility in History Blog*
<https://t2m.org/publications/mobility-in-history-blog/> invites
researchers and advanced graduate students to submit proposals for
contributions to an online exhibit on the theme of “People-Works: The Labor
of Transport.” The online exhibit explores the role of human labor in the
powering of transport throughout history and across area contexts. It aims
to illuminate the central role that human labor has played (and continues
to play) in transport, despite our grand historical narratives of
automation and mechanization, and to move the history of transport away
from studies of disembodied networks to studies of the people who make the
networks actually “work.” Each module will explore the history of one kind
of transport labor, either over time or in a particular time and place.

We envision that each exhibit module will include around 1,000 words of
text and several images and/or other media. We aim for it to appeal to a
general, educated audience beyond specialists in transport history. Modules
will be peer-reviewed. The exhibit will appear online at the *Mobility in
History Blog* in November 2018.

We encourage scholars of all periods and area contexts to apply. Abstracts
for proposed modules should be 150-250 words long, and should include a
tentative list of media that the module might include. The deadline for
proposals is February 15, 2018. Acceptances will be sent out by March 1,
2018.
