The purpose of this PDW is to provide a forum for exploring the overlap between management and labor history fields. Although the two fields have much in common, our purpose is to examine the areas shared between management thought and the worker experience in history. Traditionally, both fields have generally ignored each other even though management thought and practice and labor behaviors have a synergistic relationship. Therefore, we seek to use a format of lecture and discussion to encourage scholars to consider a fruitful dialogue between the two fields moving forward. Our contention is that the evolution of management thought was the result of its interaction with the labor movement and that labor history evolved due to its interaction with management. If we seek to understand one, me must understand the other.
