Work is central to our quality of life, identities and well-being. However, finding and keeping work that is meaningful, fair, safe and sustainable is becoming more challenging. This course explores the changing nature of todays increasingly global workplaces and labour markets, the way that class, race, gender and ability shape our access to work, the laws and regulations that define workplace rights and obligations, and the strategies workers use to navigate these relationships.
