Global Justice
The study of justice is concerned not only with what is 'just' and whether we can agree on this matter across cultures, but also with what obligations we might have to treat each other fairly. In this course, students will examine questions of justice, as they have been extended to the global sphere, in light of contemporary concerns such as intensifying inequality, continued poverty, accelerated migration, anthropogenic climate change, and demands for righting historical wrongs.
