Description
What are the norms and values that characterize a socially just society? This course is designed to explore this question. We will examine justice under the follow contexts: theories of justice, principles and scope of social justice, why social justice matters, the machinery of social injustice, targeting injustices, identifying inequities on the basis of social group memberships, advocating for social justice, and teaching social justice. This course heightens awareness of contemporary social issues and helps learners develop action plans that foster action for socially just principles. We examine values, discuss social commitment, and develop critical thinking and social inquiry skills necessary for engaging in social justice action for social change.
