This
course explores various theories of justice, examining the most dominant approaches
to the subject within modern and contemporary political theory, as well as the relation of justice
to democracy and questions of identity, recognition, and inclusion. The course will also focus
on the implications of those theories for political, social, and economic institutions by
offering students a problem-based learning environment in which they will work together to
bring theoretical insights to bear on actual political problems.
This course is open to Juniors and Seniors.; Prereq: 8 credits in the department.
