Gender, Work and Global Capitalism.

Catalog description

Since the founding of the discipline, Sociology has examined how societies are transformed as a result of the rise and spread of capitalism. This course addresses how this transformation affects and is affected by ideas around gender and the gender division of labor. How does the rise of capitalism reconfigure social life and gender relations? And how do capitalist relations unfold in gendered ways? The course takes a global perspective on these questions, considering case studies from within and outside the United States.
