DSJS 1140

This course explores how labour and work, both paid and unpaid, are part of all social relationships, and how they both reflect and are impacted by identity categories such as gender, race, national identity, sexuality, and disability. It asks how and why some kinds of work are paid and validated while others are unpaid and even made invisible, examining issues such as whose work is recognized and whose isn't, and exploring the consequences of this for different groups of people.
