MCD 512 Environmental, Social and Economic Justice
| Credit Hours | Recitation/Lecture Hours | Studio Hours | Clinical Hours | Lab Hours |
Prerequisites:
This course examines the contested meanings of social justice within the context of a society which understands itself to be a liberal democracy based on the conviction that all humans are created equal. This course will raise questions about the ethical adequacy of existing social norms (legal and ethical) by examining concrete economic and environmental issues related to the dehumanizing conditions that shape communities of marginalized people, disproportionately persons of color, women and children. As a course shaped by the theory that knowledge, including social norms, is constructed by privileged social groups, the course will intentionally introduce contesting knowledge from marginalized voices. Throughout this process, the principles involved in doing social ethics, that is, for determining what is just, will be revealed and examined. Guest speakers will provide links to local community activism related to the issues raised. | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
