Description
This course offers students from all disciplines an opportunity to consider the ways their chosen or aspirational career pathways are implicated in the ongoing projects of the colonialist nation state and neoliberal capitalist expansion. They will also have the chance to explore potentials for their particular professional field/s to support more inclusive and just social relations. Students will examine North American histories of violence as organized through various forms of labour, whether valued, devalued, exploited, conscripted to national and other agendas, or privileged in local, national and transnational contexts. They will also consider the ways selected current events are shaped by human labour as a socio-political mechanism for consolidating hegemony and its many alternatives. The course provides an advanced option for students in Women's and Gender Studies, as well as other disciplines.
