Fulfills the Senior Colloquium requirement for History Majors.
Latinx workers are often invisible in our everyday lives, yet we are experiencing a resurgent labor movement that is making their exploitation visible. Students will engage with the contributions of Latinx workers in the steel, automobile, agriculture, and service industries, where they have historically provided critical labor power. Students will create community-engaged projects to analyze the industries where Latinx people are employed in Boston by working with community partners. This course features field trips and guest lectures as we focus on Latinx workers in New England, which continues to be a destination for people from different parts of Latin America.
