Labor Studies

Your week begins with an 'Intro to Labor History' lecture, tracing early industrialization and worker resistance. You take detailed notes, especially on the Pullman Strike. After class, you briefly chat with your TA about a confusing primary source document during office hours. Later, you grab lunch with friends at the dining hall, making plans to study together. The afternoon is spent reviewing your notes and starting the week's required readings from a historical journal, highlighting key arguments about economic inequality and social change.
