Latina/o Studies and the Ethics of Job Training: On the Premises of the Corporate University.

Juffer, Jane

Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, v26 n2 p183-98 Fall 2001

Many universities fund Latino studies programs, in part, as a means to train students for the transnational labor force, but thereby present complex ethical issues. The national student-organized Workers Rights Consortium provides a model of ethical engagement with globalization, pursuing ethical corporate practices among university contractors. Critical practices in one classroom are described. (Contains 22 references.) (SV)
