Administrative Assistant Barb Alexander 905-688-5550, extension 4753 MC C331 http://www.brocku.ca/labourstudies/ Our work determines how we spend many of our waking hours and it largely defines our position in society, our economic well-being and our self-image. It also defines the nature of our society and economy, since these are determined by the work efforts of individuals. Restructuring of the labour force, technological change, de-skilling, re-skilling, changing labour legislation, labour market segmentation, women's work and equality in the workplace are some of the issues that stimulate teaching and research in the Centre for Labour Studies. Given the complex and multifaceted nature of work, Labour Studies adopts a multidisciplinary approach to its study. Labour Studies is a combined major program leading to a pass BA degree. The program provides a social science perspective on the study of work with the participation of the departments of Economics, History, Political Science and Sociology. Students may earn a Concentration in Labour Studies by including Labour Studies and other approved courses, as part of their academic work leading to an honours BA in Economics, Political Science or Sociology. |
