Expanded Course Description
| This course examines the organization, experience, and meaning of work in modern industrial societies, focusing primarily on the United States. Early sociologists Karl Marx, Max Weber and Emile Durkheim all placed work at the center of their foundational analyses of society, focusing on the industrial revolution and rise of capitalism in the West. Their common realization was that the organization of work helps to determine the fates of individuals as well as their societies, creating dynamic connections between the two. This course reviews and extends these classic sociological insights through an exploration of the history, social context, organization, and future of work. Special attention is paid to barriers to equal and safe employment; collective action and unionizing; labor control and sources of power; and recent transformations in the social relations of production as they relate to ongoing organizational and technological change. |
