HDEV 400Social Justice

Catalog

HDEV 400 SOCIAL JUSTICE This course will examine the multi-layered processes that create, perpetuate, and challenge stratification, inequalities, and multiple forms of violence within and across societies. A key intent is to examine conceptions of social justice that underpin efforts to address and redress disproportionalities and disparities resulting from contemporary and historical relations of domination and subjugation. The focus of the course moves between the global context and that of the US, whereby students will analyze their own location within power and wealth structures. A special feature of this course is its emphasis on the interconnectedness of global, regional, national, and local realities, as they affect the lives of people in everyday domains. Prerequisite: HDEV 300. Open only to juniors and seniors currently matriculated in HDEV. Enrollment in this course is by permission of the department. Completion of this form is required for any student wishing to enroll. http://bit.ly/2DXp2LB
