LABRST 3K03 - On the Move: Workers in a Global World

3 unit(s)

In this course, we will examine the organization of work through a critical lens of mobility. We will address questions like: what sectors and people are most likely to move? What facilitates / hinders mobility? How does (im)mobility condition inequality? By considering how movement facilitates different work arrangements (across time and space), and how power shapes these processes, this course provides a foundation for developing a deeper understanding into the role of mobility in the organization of work.
