The Labor Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary program of study focusing on the importance of labor to the economic, social, political, and cultural evolution of modern societies.
If you are interested in Labor Studies, the two foundational courses for the Minor are being offered in SPRING 2019:
HSTCMP 249 / POL S 249 / SOC 266: Introduction to Labor Studies (5 cr) - MW 8:30-9:50
(I&S), no prerequisites, Instructor: Mathieu Dubeau
HSTAA 353: Class, Labor, and American Capitalism (5 cr) - TTh 1:30-3:20
(I&S
Taking either course fulfills the Labor Studies required course, and the other credits in the minors are electives! Please check out our long list of electives here: https://labor.washington.edu/course-requirements
If you have taken other unlisted labor-related courses and would like to have them qualify towards your Labor Studies Minor, please email hbcls@uw.edu to request an exception! (These are quite common, so don't hesitate!)
