DESCRIPTION:Rhacel Parrenas\, Professor of Sociology\, University of Southe
 rn California\, and Fulbright Scholar\, McMaster University Institute on G
 lobalization & the Human Condition\n\nTalk: Mobilizing Morality: Migrant D
 omestic Workers in Dubai\n\nIn this talk\, I describe the labor conditions
  of Filipina migrant domestic workers in Dubai. While the talk calls atten
 tion to the indenture and absence of labor protection for domestic workers
 \, it establishes and describes their labor conditions as falling under th
 ree prevailing cultural patterns: a) dehumanization\; b) infantilization\;
  c) recognition. This diversity questions the common view of domestic work
 ers in Dubai as nothing-but abuse victims\, an argument made by scholars w
 ho reduce our reading of the kafala (sponsorship) system to 'structural vi
 olence.' Countering the reduction of our understanding of domestic work to
  the structures that shape them\, the talk argues that morals mediate mark
 et activities and result in a diversity of labor standards across househol
 ds. The talk describes the process by which morals shape the labor conditi
 ons of domestic work.\n
