LAW 949 - Work, Gender & the Law

Unit(s): 3

In this seminar, we will examine in a small-group setting issues related to gender and work and the laws that affect (and/or seek to affect) how gender is constructed, constrained, and performed (by women and men) in work. Course coverage will include antidiscrimination in employment laws as well as laws that relate to gender in specific work institutions, such as the military, and those that relate to gender in institutions that set the stage for work, such as laws that regulate discrimination in educatino and membership in private clubs. There will be an overarching sociological component to the readings assigned in the course. The course will also emphasize development of writing skills. Each student will research, write, and present an original paper on a Work, Gender, and the Law topic. Notes: Seminar. Attendance rule for ‘closed’ limited enrollment classes: professor may drop any enrolled or wait listed student with an unexcused absence during the first three weeks of the semester.
