1 NEW WORLDS OF WORK AND CARE Fall, 2014 Professor Kathleen Gerson The early 21st century represents a period of immense social change in both the public world of work and the private world of caring for others. New technologies have blurred the boundary between home and work. New economic opportunities and pressures have sent women into the workplace. The rise of the new economy has created jobs with more short-term flexibility, but less long-term security. And new options in intimate relationships have created more diverse and voluntary, but less predictable, family bonds. Taken together, these intertwined shifts represent a social transformation that is reshaping the daily lives and life pathways of American women and men. To explore the causes, consequences, and significance of these twin revolutions in work and care, the class will address several questions: What does an overview of changes in work, family, and gender patterns tell us about where we are now and where we are going? What are the major dilemmas created by these changes, and how are people coping with these conflicts? What are the implications for the future? And what can we do to enhance the opportunities and limit the insecurities of these new social arrangements? To accomplish these goals, the class will take a two-pronged approach. For the first half of the semester, students will read, analyze, and discuss cutting edge research; during the second half, students will conduct their own original research projects. The Part I of the class, short reflection memos, due each week, will help students prepare for class discussions that focus on core issues in the ongoing work-care debate. These 1 3 page memos should contain a brief discussion of the central questions or main arguments and debates raised by the readings. Although they will not be graded, failing to submit them on time will carry a penalty. In Part II, each student will develop and carry out an original research project on a relevant topic of her or his choice. Weekly research memos will help students develop, conduct, and complete these project. Drawing questions that emerge in the first half of the class, each student will develop a more focused question, formulate a research design to answer it, collect original data, and write the results in the form of a research article. This project may involve any form of research (e.g., face-to-face interviews, ethnographic observations, or survey data collection). The final grade will reflect a combination of these contributions, including the research paper, class participation, and submission of timely reflection memos. Readings include selected articles and research reports (available online) and books available for purchase. 1
