Work and Social Exclusion

Today we are going to talk about my favorite subject of my seventh semester: “Work and social exclusion“. This subject is from the area of Psychology of work and organizations. One of the reasons i like this subject is because we are 18 students, and other reason is for the contents, being these contents related to socially excluded and marginal jobs regarding public policies and social stigma that recognizes them. The classes are expositive, made by the teacher and other invited guests where different topics are exposed such as: immigration, disability, labor flexibilization, domestic work, sex work, etc.

On the other hand, the subject has a research work that is carried out during the semester. This work I have done together with two partners and we have developed it around meeting sex workers from Santiago. Beyond deepening with respect to research, personally it has been an experience of many and diverse learnings.

In conclusion, "work and social exclusion" has been a very very pleasant course, in as much for the group course as for the topics to be treated. I also think that knowing about these topics is super necessary for training from the social sciences, in the university and in our daily lives.
