Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.
The majority of existing union members are women and workers of color, and, since the mid-1980s, the majority of newly organized workers have been women of color, particularly black women and recent immigrants from Latin America. Yet, with the exception of just a handful of unions, the labor movement still has been slow to build on this support and enthusiasm. This course will focus on the challenges and possibilities created by the changing demographics of race and gender in the contemporary labor movement. Through a combination of readings, small group discussions, guest speakers, and library and online research, short essays and one longer research paper; the course will examine these issues from an historical, demographic, labor relations, and sociological perspective.
