Summary of interview: Margaret Levi, Professor of Political Science and a former Director of the Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington, describes her lifelong history of activism. Under Levi, the Center for Labor Studies held a "Labor Rights as Human Rights" symposium to raise questions about the WTO and encourage discussion among people with diverse viewpoints. While Levi explains that this forum did little to organize undergraduates, the Center for Labor Studies played an important supporting role for students rather than mobilizing them. Levi also discusses the ideological splits between and within unions, the important history of labor activism in Seattle, and her excitement over the revival of conversation between the labor unions and other activists (after their split during the anti-war movement).
