This course will examine the changing nature of the family and the workplace with an emphasis on the impact of gender in these two spheres. We will focus on specific social and historical changes which have altered the structure of the domestic realms of work and the dynamics of the relationship between men and women. Special attention will be given to such issues as equal employment opportunity, affirmative action, pay equity (comparable worth), parental leaves, sexual harassment, and the effects of globalization on women's labor, in the United States and the developing world.
