Brotherhood of the Lake: Commercial Fishing, Work and Livelihood in Leland's Fishtown
(Conferences / Seminars / Lectures) This week's presentation title, "Brotherhood of the Lake: Commercial Fishing, Work and Livelihood in Leland's Fishtown," is presented by Laurie Sommers, Folklorist/Consultant. "Our Daily Work / Our Daily Lives" is a joint project that focuses on the artistic traditions of workers and on workplaces as contexts for the expression of workers culture. The richness and diversity of workers' experiences and workers culture is explored and presented through an ongoing series of exhibits, lectures, and presentations; writing and research projects; reunions; and demonstrations and discussions. The program was established in 1992 and is coordinated by the Michigan Traditional Arts Program at the MSU Museum and the Labor Education Program in the College of Social Science's School of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
