Work and The Labor Process

This course provides an overview of the historical and contemporary literature on work and the labor process. We begin with the work of Marx and Taylor, and how, in the 1970s and 80s, their work was reframed and recast by Braverman, Burawoy a number of scholars. We then explore the renaissance in ethnographic research that has taken place over the last two decades as scholars have responded to the rise of the service sector, the growing precariaty of work, platform work and globalization in a post-Fordist world, and the new theoretical frameworks that are emerging.

Sound Design

(Offered at ARHA 340 and FAMS 340) This class is an introduction to key concepts in sound design, with a primary (but not exclusive) focus on sound in relation to moving images. Students will gain significant technical training in sound recording, editing, and mixing. In addition, this class will use the act of listening as a point of departure to think about histories, theories, politics, and poetics of sound.
