Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Today's women workers migrate at an unprecedented pace. This class looks at Third World women who move to developed countries to work as nurses and maids and in the sex industry. We examine their experiences through the intersectional lens of gender, race, class, and nationality and question the social, political, and economic forces that drive migration and draw women workers to specific destinations. Finally, we will look at the multiple inequalities these workers confront and the ways in which they negotiate and challenge them. Enrollment limited to 17 freshmen and sophomores. WRIT
