Calendar Description / Prerequisite / Co-Requisite

This course examines anthropological perspectives on the politics of labour as impacted by race and gender. This class will focus on ethnographic texts and films. We will take a national as well as transnational perspective in examining the everyday experiences of workers. What counts as work? Why are women of colour and immigrant women overrepresented in certain kinds of work? We will examine theories of intersectionality, the state, and transnationalism.
