GS 317 - Global Migrant Workers: Ethnic Experiences, Resistance, and Empowerment

This course examines the connections of global migrant workers in the U.S. and the global contexts via systems focus. It examines how globalization, global labor migration, global supply chains, and global civil society organizations have affected working conditions and labor rights from the 20th to early 21st centuries and how workers fight back. It provides intersectional analysis, or connections among race/ethnicity, gender and class, using real-life case studies to demonstrate that migration is a complex globalization process that transcends national boundaries.
