The Woman Worker, Reproductive Labor, and the ILO: A Conversation with Eileen Boris
from The History-Politics Podcast: Putting the Past to Work · host UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy
What is work? Who is a worker? How have women been perceived and treated as workers? Who is deemed “deserving” of benefits, welfare, and pensions, and who gets excluded? Answers to these questions have enormous implications on the the structure of society and policy and how we live our lives. Professor Eileen Boris, Hull Professor and Distinguished Professor of Feminist Studies and Professor of History, Black Studies, and Global Studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara, joins Katherine Marino on Then & Now to discuss the development of the woman worker throughout history, the role of the International Labor Organization in this development, and the division of household labor during the COVID-19 pandemic.
