WGST 302 Gender, Work and Labour

This class takes a broad approach to exploring gender, work, and labour. Learners explore when and why certain kinds of labour not considered real work and how particular moments have shifted the intersections of gender, work, and labour. Specific attention is paid to whose labour counts, with a focus on workers who are often ignored, made invisible, informalized, or excluded. This course also considers resistance efforts and counter-movements on local, national, and international levels.
