GWS 325 WORKERS UNITE!
This course examines the significance of class to workers’ rights efforts, both historically and contemporarily. Students will consider the importance of class in daily life, particularly its role as a social identity and its interconnectedness with socioeconomic status; the successes and failures of street-level mobilizations, membership organizing, and connections and disjunctures with other social movements; and the current realities and struggles workers face as they attempt to make ends meet. The course brings together the history, theory, and lived experience of class-based labor organizing with its intersections with struggles for racial, gender, LGBTQ, and migrant justice.
