Labour, Power and Strategies
In this course, we will collectively grasp the fundamentals of labor activism, organizational forms, collective actions, and collective power. Over six engaging sessions, we will explore essential principles that drive effective organization and mobilization within labor contexts.
Writing Worker Stories: Movement-Centered Labour Journalism
This course introduces students to a movement-centered approach to writing labour stories for publishing. We teach the values and perspectives of this approach, and the practical storytelling skills necessary to tell compelling workers’ stories.
Labour’s Polycrisis and Our Disenchantment
What are you seeing? What fascinates and intrigues you? Are you feeling energetic and inspired? What frustrates and disappoints you? How can we make sense of all these observations and feelings?Let's figure out together why we are stuck and how we can become unstuck.
Worker Cooperatives: Can Cooperating Transform How We Work Together?
When all of our working experiences have been in profit-maximizing enterprises, or in workplaces that are structured hierarchically, it is no wonder that we can encounter challenges when attempting to run an enterprise democratically.
