LABR 001A - (IS) Introduction to Labor StudiesSemester Hours: 3
Once a Year
This course examines life as it has been lived inside
factories, corporations, and other work places, within communities,
during leisure time, and in families and homes from the middle of the
eighteenth century to the present. The primary focus is on the
United States, but within an international context. Special attention
will be paid to the processes by which working classes are created
cross-culturally; the way in which gender categories are structured;
the role of race and ethnicity; the recent global restructuring of
industry and work; and unionization. We will also be interested in
literary, theoretical and political views of work and labor.
