This class will look at concepts of work, particularly in the North American context (USA and Canada). We will approach the topic historically, looking at examples from the 19th century and then quickly move into our own time, situating work within race/class/gender, as well as discussing branches of work such as sex work, domestic work, prison work and others, in order to relate our topic to value systems in society. Of course, we will talk about unions, reforms as well as the politics of money and ownership.
