I hope this email finds you well! I am teaching a doctoral seminar this spring, and I am opening it up to "labor" students in a few selectied other places (see below). In my mind, the seminar is a nice bridge between IR and PoliSci. If you have a student who
might benefit (or be interested), please feel free to forward the announcement below. I see this as a contribution of mine to building toward the type of disciplinarily-informed labor scholarship you are also calling for.</div>

For the spring semester 2025, I would like to continue the practice of<b> allowing doctoral students</b> from Rutgers' US sister schools <b>to participate in the seminar</b> on the "Comparative Political Economy of Work" that I will be teaching <b>on Wednesday afternoons,</b> 3:00-5:40
pm (<b>EST</b>), <b>starting on January 22nd.</b> I pan to offer the seminar in <b>hybrid</b> mode, combining in-person and synchronous remote modalities. I taught this same course as a hybrid course with students from several schools<b> in attendance virtually </b>in 2023, and it worked
quite well. Please pass on this information to students who might be potentially interested. They should contact me with potential questions and expressions of interest.</div>

This <b>doctoral-level course</b> familiarizes students with <b>cutting-edge research on the comparative political economy of work, labor, and education</b>. Comparative political economy (CPE) is both a large subfield in (comparative) political science and a rich interdisciplinary
space offering sophisticated concepts and tools for analyzing the political determinants of economic affairs across countries. Research on the comparative political economy of work is comprehensive, taking into account such topics as the evolution of market
structures and company strategies, the development of welfare states, and the distribution of social risks. It has greatly increased our understanding of national differences and common trends, illuminating distributional conflicts and patterns of solidarity
in the labor market, at the workplace, and even within the family.</div>

The course begins with a review of theories on the governance of work and labor across advanced political economies. It then moves to cover contemporary challenges to these governance arrangements and examine the ongoing transformation of the institutions that
societies rely on to manage the tensions between the realities of capitalism and the principles of democratic citizenship. Seeking to empower students to use CPE approaches in their own research, class discussions will highlight how scholars have conceptualized
the drivers, processes, nature, and outcomes of institutional changes. Topics such as the evolution of worker power, policymakers’ embrace of social investment and education, the politics of the platform economy, and the future of work(ers) will receive particular
attention.</div>
