Reproductive, Sexual, and Productive labors encompass paid and unpaid work and the social policies that shape the making of both people and their desires as well as goods and services.
We focus on social movements that support workers, families, households, and communities in the US and globally, looking to the past, charting the present, and envisioning the future. Drawing upon intersectional, interdisciplinary, and transnational frameworks, faculty emphasize intimate labor (care, domestic, and sex work) in the home and other spaces; working class organization; global histories of work and workers; sexual and reproductive health; abortion and contraception politics; birthing, midwifery, and care of self and others.
