In this course, first year students will examine the intersection of scientific work and philosophy. In particular we will be focusing on social justice: the study of equal rights, opportunities, and treatment. We will tackle these subjects through a psychological lens, unpacking the mechanics of biases, group behaviors, and institutions. Topical contexts such as education, law, and culture will be touched upon, and students will be challenged to ponder personal and societal solutions to these issues.
