Description
This course explores the theory and practice of social justice in the contemporary world. Drawing on a theoretical notion of justice that is grounded in the elimination of oppression, the course centers on social justice as inherently linked to race, class, gender, and sexuality. The course concentrates on the ways in which our communication-individual, institutional, and mediated-enables the maintenance of injustice as it also offers possibilities for intervention and social change.
