The Ignatian City: Social Suffering, Urban Marginality, and Social Justice

Catalog description

This course will build on key concepts and themes from the Ignatian Intellectual tradition to study and understand the American City. Ignatius was a pilgrim that traveled throughout his life. Like Ignatius we will travel across American cities to explore the unequal and contradictions of quality-of-life outcomes for different demographic groups. Each theme of our intellectual journal will be anchored by the urban experience of residents of an American City. Like Ignatius we will travel the major cities of the U.S in hopes of one day to become ambassadors to create a Just City – An Ignatian City.
