Overview

Labor Studies is an interdisciplinary field that deals with work, the workplace, workers and their organizations. It draws from the fields of History, Economics, Industrial Relations, Political Science, Law, Sociology, Communication, and Philosophy, as well as other disciplines.

Key Features

The Department of Labor Studies at Indiana University Northwest enables participants to serve more effectively as members and leaders in their organizations. Participants can also gain a sense of the past and present contexts of work and unionism.

Because labor leaders need to be familiar with economics, communications, labor law, social factors and other subjects, Labor Studies can assist in mastering a broad range of learning.

The faculty offer the essential tools for the advancement of trade unionism with the view that working people’s efforts to achieve workplace equity is central to the development of our nation and, indeed, the world.

The mission of the Labor Studies (Online) degree is to:

Provide credit and non-credit university-level education for current and future workers to increase knowledge, understanding, and critical thinking about work and labor organizations within today’s global context;

Broaden access to the university for working-class and other underserved constituencies, providing opportunities for life-long learning and college degrees;

Collect, systematize, and create new knowledge in collaboration with our students;

Examine the global socio-economic system and the impact of its inequalities on working people;

Promote respect for workers and understanding of working class histories, experiences, perspectives and knowledge;

Empower our constituents to be engaged citizens and social and political agents of change who will create a more just and equitable world of work.
