Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.
This introductory course examines key processes shaping the nature of work and structure of organizations. Throughout, we foreground the distinctiveness of a sociological approach, one that understands work and broader social processes as mutually constitutive dynamics. Using this lens, we also assess the functioning of labor markets and organizations. Central topics include the emergence of wage labor, exploitation and labor control, technology and work, inequality, human and social capital, organizational culture, structure, and institutions.
