In Spring 2019, twenty-two Labor Studies-related courses will be offered at the UW Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma campuses. A full list appears below. Registration Period I for Spring Quarter began Friday, February 15.
All courses listed count towards a Minor in Labor Studies. Note that both of the Labor Studies Minor's required foundation classes, HSTCMP 249 / POL S 249 / SOC 266 - Introduction to Labor Studies and HSTAA 353 - Class, Labor, and American Capitalism, are being offered in Spring 2019.
The Labor Studies Minor brings together a series of courses on labor in core social-science departments. From unions and organized labor, to the often unpaid caring labor taking place at home, Labor Studies is broadly conceived to include working men and women everywhere.
