Class Description:
Drawing on gendered life course, stress process, and intersectionality theoretical approaches to social change, this class will address the health and well-being implications of, and inequities around, the changing nature of paid work along with ongoing disparities around both paid work and unpaid family care work. We will adopt a gendered life course, stress process, intersectional approach to turbulent times, considering key life course and stress process themes and using an intersectional lens. These themes include shifting historical contexts, the timing of exogenous shocks in the biographies of individuals and households, processes of cumulative advantage/disadvantage and turning points; structural contexts (re)producing, exacerbating, or mitigating disparities in allocation and socialization processes, constrained choice and (perceived) control cycles , the persisting inequities: How do macro-level transformations precipitate unequal work transitions and conditions at different career/life stages? How do these work-related changes foster disparities in health/well-being across population groups at different points in their life courses?
