Other Social Justice Courses
Social justice is a rich concept in many traditions, both religious and secular. While the process for identifying a social justice course is an on-going one here at Georgetown, there are some questions and/or themes that seem to characterize such courses. So, in addition to the community-based learning courses, there are other courses that can help advance these questions and themes:
What does justice mean; what does social justice mean? Do those terms have different meanings for different groups? What are instances of injustice at the local, national and global levels? Who is working to bring about more just situations? How do we bring about positive social change? What is a vision for a more just world? We welcome your input into the on-going conversations. Please contact either Alisa Carse, Associate Professor in Philosophy and the James F. Slevin Senior Fellow for Curriculum and Pedagogy in the Center for Social Justice Research, Teaching and Service (CSJ) or Kathleen Maas Weigert, Executive Director of CSJ.
A special kind of academic opportunity dealing with social justice is the 4th Credit Option for Social Action. Please see Jane Kirchner, CBL/PJP Coordinator for more information on this program as well as on other kinds of social justice courses.
