This Crash Course lecture series looks closely at the fascinating labor practices that helped define generations of workers across race, class, and gender. This three-part Crash Course lecture series is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Working Thought, a group exhibition of 35 artists working at the intersections of art, labor, and American economy.
Led by Alexandra Finley, associate professor of history at the University of Pittsburgh, and Julia Hudson-Richards, PhD, Department of History at the University of Pittsburgh, the three sessions will carefully consider paid and unpaid labor, factories and labor unions, food production and the environment, the domestic sphere, and the impact of labor on the American economy.
