This course will examine social justice from the broad perspective that all people are deserving of opportunities, rights, protections, obligations and social benefits. Definitions, theories and perspectives as they relate to the context and impact of power, oppression and privilege will be examined within both historical and contemporary lenses. This course will require students to examine personal and professional values and ethics related to social justice as well as how those influence our ability to be change agents for social justice.
