Learning to Labor: Work & Education in US History
Course #: LABOR 275L, Class #: 7264, Section #: 01
Description
This course explores the intertwined history of education and work in the United States. We will ask how schools and school systems, arose in the nineteenth-century US, and what purpose the people who ran and attended these schools expected them to serve. We will chart the expansion and specialization of school systems across the country, and ask how schools came to sort workers into jobs, reinforcing racial and gender inequality in the process. Who teaches, and what do they teach? Who trains and employs teachers, and under what conditions?
