WGSS 125 Gender, Labor, and the Cultural Politics of Work
Investigates how work – paid and unpaid, in families and in places of employment – is organized by gender and other forms of power, difference and inequality, such as race, class, sexuality and migration/citizenship status. Examines the consequences for outcomes in paid employment and in terms of the distribution of time, respect, and power, as well as family divisions of labor across diverse households. Explores the development of modern economies, and how they influence how different groups are treated at work.
