This sophomore writing seminar engages in a critical, in-depth study of the way in which people with disabilities and the disability experience are represented in an array of interdisciplinary texts, with particular emphasis on the legal tradition and interpretations. Drawing from a variety of historical as well as contemporary texts and documents, we will explore the implications of disability in culture and policy, particularly as they impact ideas of citizenship and rights, primarily in the United States, but also globally. We will examine the history of disability law, looking closely at a number of Supreme Court cases and decisions. We will additionally allow for an intensive focus on the development of critical thought and reasoning in both oral and written communication.

This sophomore writing seminar engages in a critical, in-depth study of exclusions from employment and labor laws. Drawing from various political science, historical and legal texts and documents, we will explore the origins and implications of being left outside the coverage of work law. Examples include the exclusions of independent contractors (like Uber drivers), the ministerial exemption, homecare and agricultural workers as others, primarily in the United States. We will also allow for an intensive focus on developing critical thought and reasoning in both oral and written communication. This course fulfills the ILR Advanced Writing requirement.

This course studies the law’s governance of care work. The care economy supplies basic needs for individuals and provides the human infrastructure for society. Care work often happens outside the traditional workplace and/or the formal labor market. Beyond the market, the family and the state also play essential roles in providing and paying for care. As a result, care work—paid, unpaid, or underpaid—raises challenging questions for and beyond employment and labor law. How does the law compensate, regulate, and evaluate care work? How does the law allocate the responsibility and costs of care? How does the relationship between the provider and receiver of care and/or the caregiver’s identities (gender/race/immigration status) affect the law’s treatment of the care work? To explore these questions, we will examine legal institutions across the bodies of employment and labor law, family law, welfare law, and immigration law. The course will predominantly focus on the United States. As a writing seminar, this course will develop the student’s analytical writing capability through a series of writing assignments designed to break down the writing process into discernable steps, culminating in a longer paper on a topic relevant to this course. This process will include writing reaction papers, composing a paper proposal, participating in the incubator and work-in-progress workshops, revising the written works, and receiving feedback from the Professor throughout the process.

We all know people who have moved someplace “for a job.” We probably are still in touch with these people: by phone, by e-mail or by web-cam, maybe even through old-fashioned letters. But what did it mean for people in the past to move for a job? How was moving for work different over a hundred years ago? In this class, we will examine at least three different ways in which people moved to work: moving within a single country, moving across national borders, and moving as a part of the job itself. How did such moves change the lives of both the workers and their families?
