Bachelor of Arts
The Labor and Social Movements option is designed to offer students a strong foundation for understanding historical roots and processes that shape political, intellectual, economic and social developments and consequently the conditions of the working class in a global context. This option examines the culture, politics and socioeconomic conditions as they intersect with gender, labor and race in changing contexts of im(migration), famine, disenfranchisement, marginalization, oppression and political disempowerment. Consequently, this option explores and analyzes social movements responding to these conditions such as socialism, protest, community organization, unionism and revolution.
