ADCJ 1100 Introduction to Social Justice
What is social justice? This phrase has been used so frequently that we often lose sight of its meaning. In this course, students will investigate the many meanings of the term social justice and will be introduced to social justice issues in the US. Students will begin by locating themselves within systems of power, privilege, and oppression and then use their experiences and perspectives in discussion as we analyze and dissect these concepts. The course focuses on studying systems of oppression, methods of resistance, and visions of possibility.
