IRLE Engaged Learning Blog

Students involved in IRLE’s units participate in a variety of engaged learning activities, internships and part-time jobs that enrich their academic journey at UCLA. In particular, students of our labor studies academic program practice social justice at work and in the community. 

This blog series will share the experiences of students connected to IRLE and their contributions both within our own units and at local community organizations that advance  worker, social and economic justice in Los Angeles and beyond. 

We invite you to follow this series to learn more about these unique student experiences along with us.
