This course is designed to help students gain fundamental knowledge of the principles of social justice both as a rhetorical and social construct. Beginning with an overview of social justice theory, the course examines the causes and consequences of several types of injustice brought about by race, class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and ability, how they are rhetorically constituted and how they shape the experiences of diverse groups. The course focuses strongly on the debate of where the responsibility for leadership for social justice falls: in the hands of government institutions who must intervene to ensure a just society, or in the hands of individual citizens working together to promote the common good?
