Global Justice in an Unjust World
0.5 Credit

From its emergence in the 1970s, global justice theory has expanded to address pressing planetary concerns such as global wealth distribution, international trade, environmental crises, migration policy, political mobilization by the marginalized, and representation of the underprivileged. This course provides a critical introduction to the field of global justice and how it intersects with the study of religious beliefs and cultural identities by drawing on various theoretical and epistemological perspectives (e.g., normative, development, postcolonial, decolonial) that seek to overcome the enduring problem of inequality.
