This course will examine the gender, race, and class dimensions of population movement and forced migration. The focal point of our work will be understanding how these experiences intersect with questions about learning and work. Much of the world population is ‘on the move.’ According to the United Nations, as of 2020, about 281 million people were living outside their country of birth. War, environmental disasters, and massive restructuring of certain sectors of economy are forces that displace population mostly from the global south. In this context, a significant percentage of migrants move in search of financial stability. Participants in this seminar will study a range of learning experiences connected to the flow of people and jobs in various sites and scales––Canada, transnationally, globally. We will follow the adjustment and transformation of market economy and educational initiatives in response to these movements. Emphasis will be on the challenges faced by women migrants and refugees as they navigate changing labor markets in search of waged work. The course will pay attention to competing theoretical analyses of the relationship between gender, sexuality, race, and class in the context of migration, learning and work. We will discuss critical feminist and race theories, Marxist feminist analysis, transnational, diaspora, mobility and cultural studies, and adult education. The course will rely on theoretical studies and pay attention to social relations, politics, policies, and practices of migration, learning and work. Additional course materials, including policy documents, reports, novels, and other creative media will further inform our discussions and inquiries.
