ORST 198J PZ -Sustainable Labor:Future of Work

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Sustainable Labor: The Future of Work This course examines the ethical, political, and economic factors to ensure future “sustainable labor.” How are interests of workers and communities represented in the narratives about ecological conservation and new jobs’ creation? Will there be a just transition, for example from jobs based in the fossil fuel industries to the renewable energy sector, and in light of automation and other technological advancements? Answers to these questions matter greatly, as they impact lives, government action, and business initiatives here in Southern California and beyond. Students will gain a framework for evaluating and responding to alternative visions of both crisis and opportunity.
