SOC 233 - Work and Society

Institution:

Assumption University

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the history and organization of work in modern capitalist societies. While technological innovation has always occasioned profound changes in how work is de?ned, organized, and carried out, recent technological advances, accompanied by an increasingly globalized economy, have led to rapid (and often disruptive) alterations of the social relations of the labor process. This course will focus on: the way jobs and occupations are shaped by social contexts; the interrelationships among the institutions of the economy and education; and the tension involved in managing the demands of work and family life.
