ORST 150 PZ -Labor in the Global Economy

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This class offers an overview of the causes and consequences of our divided global economy, with focus on geography, but also issues of resources, opportunity, economic development, transnational migration, and the international division of laborâ€”all reflective of global inequities and power differentials. Readings center on critical theory and practice (protests and social movements) deeply embedded in intellectual conceptions of international political economy. We emphasize critiques of the structures of oppression and accompanying proposed for social change through review of global socialism, world systems theories (including dependency schools), radical feminism, postâ€colonial theory, and critical race theory.
