CCPA 610 - Positionality,SocJustc,Politcs

The key intent is to examine conceptions of justice that underpin efforts to address and redress disproportionalities and disparities resulting from contemporary and historical relations of domination and subjugation. Some key themes include: racial justice; gender justice; global capitalism and its impact; global justice; and war and armed conflict. We will also pay particular attention to “Intersectionality”, the ways in which structures of power are interconnected and co-constitutive. Another goal is to look at the idea of cultural competence and analyze its shortcomings and dangers. Offered: fall. 3 credits.
