"Our Daily Work / Our Daily Lives" (ODWODL) is a joint project that focuses on the artistic traditions of workers and on workplaces as contexts for the expression of workers culture. Folklorists may also call this occupational folklore/folklife or laborlore. The richness and diversity of workers' experiences and workers culture is explored and presented through an ongoing series of exhibits, lectures, and presentations; writing and research projects; reunions; and demonstrations and discussions.

The program was established in 1992 and is coordinated by the Michigan Traditional Arts Program and the Labor Education Program in the College of Social Science's School of Human Resources and Labor Relations with support from the MSU Libraries.

The MSU Museum is home to the object and research collections related to the ODWODL project.

All lectures and presentations take place in the Green Room, 4th floor, MSU Library from 12:00pm - 1:15pm ET, and are available as an online webinar at https://msu.zoom.us/j/97496813137. The password is odwodl.
