On April 1, 2026, Rudi Batzell, an Associate Professor in the History Department at Lake Forest College, joins the Department of Economics and Program for Research on Inequality at Princeton for a Book Talk. His book, Organizing Workers in the Shadow of Slavery, focuses on global inequality, racial boundaries, and the rise of unions within the capitalistic systems in the US and the UK between 1870 and 1929.
Ellora Derenoncourt, PRI’s Founding Director, will be moderating the event.
Following the talk, Batzell will sign copies of his book directly outside JRR 399.
