AI 332 - Employment, Work And Women

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

The well known phrase "women have always worked" represents a statement women make about their experience, but also represents a reaction to varying social perceptions about its quantity, value and content. In this course we will explore women's diverse experiences of working. We will consider the role of economic, legal and social forces that shape women's work experiences, including the varying perceptions held by women, men and social institutions. Readings in social science and women's studies literature, sharing personal experiences of work, and service learning hours with a community based organization will provide a framework for our investigation. The learning through each of these will be integrated and further analyzed to expand our understanding of the impact of work on women's lives. Pre-1999 Competencies: AL-N, HC-G, HC-Q, HC-R, WW. BA-1999 Competencies: A-3-A, H-2-F, H-2-H, H-4, F-X. Faculty: Marjorie Altergott
