Advanced Course on Women and Work
What does it mean to count women’s work? Is labor only what is seen and paid for, or does it extend to the invisible, unrecognised efforts that keep economies running? At ISST, we’ve spent over 40 years researching, advocating, and training on these very questions. Our Women and Work course takes you on a journey through the intersections of gender, labor, and power—unpacking how state policies, patriarchy, and social norms shape women’s participation in the workforce. From the politics of care work to the hidden struggles of informal labor, this course challenges what we know and pushes us to imagine new possibilities. If you’re ready to question, learn, and reimagine the world of work, this is an invitation to join us
