Labor and Intersectionality
Identity politics, intersectionality, and inclusion address oppression and privilege in society and at the workplace. This course examines similarities and divergences between these three frameworks, especially in relation to the changing nature of work. We will examine the origins of these terms in Black feminism and Critical Race Theory and explore their relationship to workers. For some, intersectionality is a transformative paradigm that offers a persuasive description of compounding oppressions and serves as a guide to achieving positive change and justice. We will examine historical documents that are significant in the field’s development, case studies that illustrate lived conditions and experiences, and analytical theories that pursue alternative approaches. We will consider how these concepts advance and hinder worker solidarity, coalition building, and the management of labor organizations. Examples include dynamics around gender, race, class, sexuality, ability, and caste. Our primary focus is the United States while understanding that structures and strategies often have a global dimension.
