Masterclass from Taylor Barnes: Eight Decades of the US Military-Industrial Complex: Trends in Domestic Job Creation, Working Conditions, and Organised Labour

On Wednesday 28th February 2024, Taylor Barnes from Inkstick Media joined the Emerging Voices Network (EVN) to deliver an Expert Masterclass titled: ‘Eight Decades of the US Military-Industrial Complex: Trends in Domestic Job Creation, Working Conditions, and Organised Labour”. 

In this Masterclass, hosted by BASIC Policy Fellow Anahita Parsa, Taylor discusses the findings of her research into the US Military-Industrial Complex. This research involved requesting employment statistics from weapons manufacturers and interviewing workers to get a sense of the impact this industry has on local employment, the diversity of their workforce, working conditions, and the personal experiences of workers.

More about Masterclasses:

BASIC is organising Expert Masterclasses to tap into the fantastic network of experts that BASIC is lucky to have, to ask them to deliver their expertise to the Emerging Voices Network. The Masterclasses are both skills and content-based. This is a primarily digital resource to make access to expertise more equitable for our global, diverse membership.

“BASIC’s depth of knowledge and administrative competence makes it an excellent partner in the field of military nuclear capability and arms control”

Sir Jeremy Greenstock, GCMG British diplomat

“At a time when transatlantic relationships are under tension, BASIC's role as a source of authoritative analysis is more important than ever.”

Baron Rees of Ludlow Astronomer Royal

“BASIC makes a vital contribution to sustaining recognition that nearly 35 years after the end of the Cold War nuclear weapons continue to put at risk the future of humankind. BASIC is especially to be commended for doing this by fostering dialogue and understanding.”

Peter Jenkins CMG UK Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency 2001-06

``For about 35 years, in the pursuit of nuclear disarmament, BASIC have championed the cause of mutuality of security. Their ability to engage diversity of views and opinion has attracted deserved admiration.``

Baron Browne of Ladyton Vice Chairman, Nuclear Threat Initiative and former UK Secretary of State for Defence

``For more than three decades, BASIC has challenged conventional thinking on national security matters, and inspired new ways of addressing and solving old problems. I expect it to continue to play this vital role for decades to come.``

Andreas Persbo Director, Open Nuclear Network
