Labor Studies Working Group presents a screening of the award-winning documentary film The Hand That Feeds followed by a discussion with the film's director, Rachel Lears.
 

About the Film: Shy sandwich-maker, Mahoma Lopez, unites his undocumented immigrant coworkers to fight abusive conditions at a popular New York restaurant chain. The epic power struggle that ensues turns a single city block into a battlefield in America’s new wage wars.  

This event is co-sponsored by The Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC) and the Department of Anthropology, Department of Sociology, and the Department of Geography at the Maxwell School and the Food Studies Program at the Falk College of Syracuse University.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
