SPAN 154 CH - Latinas in the Garment Industry


CrsNo SPAN154 CH


This research seminar will study the lives and work of Latinas in the garment industry in southern California, using a historical and comparative approach. The course will consider the origins of this industry in the United States, including unionization efforts, and the impact of globalization on women in plants abroad. The emphasis, however, is on contemporary Latinas working in the Los Angeles area. Students will need to be available to participate in several afternoon-long field trips to the garment district. Prerequisite: WS/GFS26, 30CC, or equivalent.
