| Crosslisting:
FGSS 206 |
This course is an exploration of the links between gender and labor. Grounded primarily in ethnography and political economy, we will look at some of the changes and continuities in what is understood as women's work. While this exploration of gender ideology and labor practices will necessarily take us through a number of contexts, this course will primarily be grounded in the experiences of workers in Latin America and the Caribbean. |
