SOCI 274: Social and Economic Justice
Abstract
The theory and practice of social and economic justice through taking on roles, informed by classic texts, in elaborate games set in the past.
This course covers the theory and practice of social and economic justice, including analyses of racial-gender-sexual-class-national and other forms of justice, the history of influential movements for justice, and strategies of struggles for justice. We will primarily accomplish this by looking at two cases: Greenwich Village in 1913 and India in 1945. We will conclude by examining issues of justice in the contemporary US.
