Introductory Labor Studies curricula

The items below were submitted in response to a request for syllabi for introductory courses in labor studies.

Also, Bill Barry suggests visiting his website at Community College of Baltimore County. "...all the syllabi for the labor studies classes at [CCBC] are there. I don't have one, like an Intro, but she could pick/ choose, mix/match from the various, more specialized, topics."

To add your own syllabus, send it to the webmaster ("EMail us" link at bottom of page).
