JUPS-260-10
MTWR 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

This course investigates the definitions and applications of key concepts such as violence, human rights and needs, poverty, work, sexuality, domesticity and justice in the context of globalization. Special emphasis will be given to the issues of race and gender. We will pursue the theoretical investigations of these terms while also exploring their practical applications.
SECOND SESSION (July 7-August 8)
Labor, Sexuality, and Globalization
Park
WSTP-276-20
MTWR 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
3 cr.
This course explores the junctures of globalized labor, national "development," and the "postcolonial" world system by exploring the concepts of labor, sexuality, and bodies. When and how do we become "workers"? How do we imagine and represent sexualities and bodies in the contexts of national developments and policy making procedures? How do third world workers negotiate their agency from the positionality of the "subaltern"? We will read and discuss literary and cultural texts, fact-finding documents, and theoretical investigations so that the more rigorously historicized concepts of labor, sexuality, and globalization enhance our understanding of social justice, equality, and violence prevention.
