Work

Catalog description

This course examines work and its meaning to individuals, the community, and the culture at large. The course will address the topics of management, workers' rights, what work means, and what makes a good job good and a bad one bad, and examine the idea of work in a variety of contexts including that of gender, race, class, sexuality, disability, and age. In addition to traditional assignments and course activities, we will leave the classroom to view working as it occurs in a variety of locales.
