HOD-807 Social and Ecological Justice

In this course students develop understandings of how social, economic, and ecological justice is defined and manifested in various societies. Students analyze these concepts and consider actions that promote more just societies. In addition to its focus on cognitive and intellectual understanding, this course emphasizes effective use of self to prepare students to take meaningful action in a wide range of interpersonal, organizational, and societal contexts. We will examine critically the theoretical and practical applications of a diverse range of writings, as we approach issues of human rights, racism, ecological devastation, power, privilege, sexism, and oppression locally, nationally, and globally.

This coursework requires a commitment of approximately 11.25 hours per week on average (4 credits / 180 hours total), with some weeks being heavier than others.
