This course provides an introductory study of theories, concepts, and strategies of social justice, including individual action, policy, advocacy, and collective action. Empasis will be on discussing world affairs such as climate change, conflict, technological innovation, and their impact on poverty, inequality, and the responsibility of humanitarian aid. Hand in hand with the questions of policy are the ethical questions concerning global justice: What is justice in a globally interconnected world? What is the role of human rights in securing global justice? Are our current institutions sufficient to address global challenges such as environmental degradation, health care, and immigration?
