Jaka Primorac, PhD, Scientific Advisor from the IRMO Department of Culture and Communication, participated as a lecturer and mentor at the fifth Labour Transfer School 2026 (LTS 2026), which took place from 3-10 June 2026 in Buggerru, Sardinia, Italy.
LTS is an independent initiative that brings together stakeholders from the global academic community, trade union organizations and civil society organizations, and is co-organized by the University of Cagliari, Italy, Queen Mary University, UK, CONICET, Argentina, Feminas, Sardinia, Italy, with the support of a number of domestic and international partners such as the Antonio Gramsci Institute, Notes from Below and others. Dr Primorac gave a presentation at the summer school as part of the session ‘Art, Work and Organizing’, and participated in a series of workshops and individual consultations with doctoral students and activists.
This year, the Labour Transfer School brought together over eighty participants interested in collaboration, synergy and knowledge exchange between academia and social organizations, with the aim of creating emancipatory knowledge on labour and social issues. The program was structured around a series of sessions, workshops, public discussions, and study visits, one of which included a visit to a nearby closed mine, a key site of the initial trade union actions in Sardinia and Italy in general.
