Más allá de quien limpia: Domestic Work in Literature, Film, and Television

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course explores how domestic work is represented in literature, film, documentaries, and television, with a focus on Latin America and Latino communities in the United States. Students will examine how these portrayals shape ideas about domestic workers and the value of their labor. Through a range of texts and media, we’ll discuss issues like visibility, exploitation, and empowerment, as well as how everyday care work is understood. By the end of the course, students will develop tools to think critically about how domestic work is defined, represented, and valued across different forms of media.
