COOL CLASSES: "Sex Under Capitalism: Intimate Relations Between Economy and Society"

"Sex Under Capitalism: Intimate Relations Between Economy and Society"

Taught by Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology Shelly Ronen, this sociology course engages in debates about families as economic units, women’s bodies as social factories, gay identity’s relationship to labor and consumption, the “pricing” of unpaid care, and sex work and trafficking.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.

Visual Culture, Arts, and Media - Three Exhibits

Through November 20, 2019
Visual Culture, Arts, and Media

VCAM is hosting three new exhibits: Lives Derailed: Stories of Returning Mexican Migrants, which gathers portraits and interviews of some of the people whose stories were recorded as part of the Migration Encounters oral history project; Nunca Dejemos de Luchar, which shares the result of community conversations and art-making workshops with artist Michelle Angela Ortiz; and In Absentia, which uses the visual language of W.E.B. Du Bois’ early-20th-century infographics as a starting place for considering the veracity of data today. Details »
