SJUS 5100 - Social Justice Today (3 Credits)
This course aims to provide an interdisciplinary basis in social justice. Students will develop interdisciplinary knowledge of the systems that contribute to a number of today’s social disparities. Centering on young adults and children as both activists and a population that merits attention socio-politically and economically, we’ll frame our study with contemporary social justice theory and a practical exploration of some of the most creative and effective justice initiatives of our day. Equity and rights-based questions on diverse communities, social access, disability studies, and the environment form the context of our inquiry into today’s voices on equity and resistance. In a planning-intensive manner, students work on the final project in stages while also cultivating wellness awareness.
