About Labor Studies
Labor Studies is an interdisciplinary minor examining workplace organizing, power, and social change. Grounded in the experiences of workers and working class communities, the program also addresses questions of gender, race, LGBTQ+ identity, migration, and environmental justice. Students examine the conditions of work across formal and informal workplaces, such as care work, prison labor, and the criminalization of work, and analyze how policies, technological change, globalization, and climate change reshape the nature of work.
