Laboratório de Estudos de História dos Mundos do Trabalho (LEHMT)

The Laboratório de Estudos de História dos Mundos do Trabalho (LEHMT) (tr. Laboratory for the Study of the History of the Worlds of Labour) at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is a space for debate and discussion between students, professionals and society in general in the field of labour history. In this sense, it promotes scientific dissemination activities seeking to broaden the dialog between academic production in this area outside the university walls. To this end, in addition to extension courses and other activities, the lehmt.org portal was created, which quickly became the main public history website in this field in Brazil. 

Through a series of sections, the site promotes ongoing scientific dissemination activities. The LEHMT-UFRJ proposes and has been an important space for dialogue between academic production in the field of the labour history and the knowledge developed in various spheres of the world of labour, whether in organizations such as trade unions and workers' associations, or educational institutions such as formal schools and those linked to the field of popular education. Specific extension courses aimed at secondary school teachers and students, sections of the lehmt.org website, such as the "Vale Mais" podcast, the lessons and methodologies shared in the "Chão de escola" section and the texts published in the "Sites of Workers Memory" series.
