In Issue 8.1, a new research article from Allyson P. Brantley, which examines a contentious, failed unionization drive among 140 Latino cemetery workers in the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles between 1988 and 1991, highlighting the fracturing and remaking of labor-Catholic alliances.

Quick intro: I am a 3rd year PhD student, and I study the intersection of women & gender and religious history. My dissertation project looks at English and American women who converted to Catholicism in the long 19th. Outside of work, I’m a knitter, film photographer, and coffee shop dweller!
