    This advanced writing seminar engages in a critical, in-depth study of the disability experience in the United States, with particular emphasis on the impacts of the law. Drawing from a variety of historical as well as contemporary texts and documents, including Supreme Court decisions, we will address approaches within, and beyond, the law to disability discrimination and exclusion in the workplace, the educational realm, and the public sphere. In uncovering the legal and sociopolitical factors that impact people with disabilities, this course will adopt an intersectional framing by acknowledging the lived experiences of multiply-marginalized people with disabilities, especially people of color. Thus, we will posit intersectional legal and justice-based approaches to equity. Throughout the course, we will allow for an intensive focus on the development of critical thought and reasoning in both written and oral communication.

    Labor movements are crucial actors in Latin American politics. This course will analyze and explain the contributions of organized labor to democratization processes in Latin America from the 19th century to the present—not only in the struggle for formal democracy, but also in the creation of new forms of participation and in the expansion of social citizenship rights. Special attention will be given to the role of labor in shaping the major political eras in the region, including the rise of populism following the onset of mass politics, the period of redemocratization in the late 20th century, and the more recent political shift towards the left. The course will cover a wide range of countries in the region and different labor movements in different historical periods. It will draw on political economy and political sociology approaches to explain both general processes and differences across countries.

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    This course is a survey of theories of the labor process exploring how employers organize work, how workers respond to these efforts, and how this shapes industrial labor relations. Since the dawn of the industrial revolution scholars from Marx to Taylor considered how the design of the labor process impacted not only profit but workers’ subjective experience of their work and their resistance. In the 1970s, led by Burawoy and Braverman, there was renewed interest in the labor process to explore the organization of work both before and during the subsequent decline in the traditional New Deal industrial labor relations system. Coalescing around the notions of coercion and consent to explain employers’ construction of the labor process these theories explored how the reality of the workplace was shaped by the broader political economy. The last two decades have again seen significant changes and upheaval in the nature of work—gigification, digital surveillance, and the disruptive specter of generative AI—raising interest yet again in the study of the labor process. In exploring the wide range of theories, perspectives, and implications of how work is organized this course seeks to interrogate the historical context of these contemporary debates and shed light on the potential impacts to workers and industrial relations.

    Unions are cool again. From viral election victories, to memes poking fun at union-busting, to coveted bomber jackets, unions are surging in popularity and popular culture. So, why are workers organizing? What does it look like to organize a union in your workplace? What makes companies so determined to bust a union that they will make decisions that hurt their own business in order to prevent workers from organizing? This class will explore and seek to answer those questions and more, examining topics ranging from the psychology of union organizing -- and union-busting! -- to the ways workers fight fear and alienation through joy, community, and solidarity, to the capacity (or lack thereof) that the labor movement has to support insurgent and grassroots organizing campaigns. We will read, analyze, and discuss materials including leaflets, news articles, union-busting slideshows, labor songs, social media posts, books, and more, discussing the trajectory of the historical and current labor movement and our own roles within it

    This course is a survey of theories of the labor process exploring how employers organize work, how workers respond to these efforts, and how this shapes industrial labor relations. Since the dawn of the industrial revolution scholars from Marx to Taylor considered how the design of the labor process impacted not only profit but workers’ subjective experience of their work and their resistance. In the 1970s, led by Burawoy and Braverman, there was renewed interest in the labor process to explore the organization of work both before and during the subsequent decline in the traditional New Deal industrial labor relations system. Coalescing around the notions of coercion and consent to explain employers’ construction of the labor process these theories explored how the reality of the workplace was shaped by the broader political economy. The last two decades have again seen significant changes and upheaval in the nature of work—gigification, digital surveillance, and the disruptive specter of generative AI—raising interest yet again in the study of the labor process. In exploring the wide range of theories, perspectives, and implications of how work is organized this course seeks to interrogate the historical context of these contemporary debates and shed light on the potential impacts to workers and industrial relations.
