SOC352H5 Study Guide - Spring 2018, Comprehensive Midterm Notes - Care Work, New Zealand Labour Party, Canada
Document Summary
For today: 1. overview for both social reproduction and emotional labour, 2. how emotional labour/social reproduction is made invisible, 3. some of the ways this work is organized according to gender and race. Gender, the family and labour: families became more reliant on wages, men left the house to do waged labour and the work that was done inside the home became unpaid labour. 2: examining emotions is sometimes hard to do. Elementary teachers vs. professors that do research: when emotions are a commodity the consequences become different. Patient care for nurses and patient diagnosis for doctors but each had a sense of freedom in their own roles: points to inadequacies of additive models that categorize gender and care as separate. For next week: care and invisible labour in the workplace. For today: recap: social reproduction and emotional labour, expanding on care, social reproduction expanded, care deficit. Doing someone"s laundry or cooking for them: reproductive labour.
