social justice

8/20/2013

When we talk about social justice, what are we talking about? Here are several subjects / categories:
  • civil rights
  • women's rights
  • workers' rights
  • gay rights
  • indigenous peoples' rights
  • children's rights
  • rights for people with disabilities
  • fair housing opportunities
  • educational opportunities
When one explores the theme of social justice, as it pertains to any (or several) of the aforementioned subjects (as well as some other subjects that might not have been listed there), we can think of different ways of exploring how social justice could be achieved / expressed. Here are several possibilities, via:
  • legal means (court cases, passing laws)
  • artistic expression
    political means (diplomacy, etc.)

For the purposes / framework of our class, we will be focusing on reading, writing, and class discussions that pertain to the interrelated themes of peace and social justice. We will also be exploring those two themes through the lenses of artists (songs, paintings, film, etc.).
