Seminar: Social Justice and Ideology Critique
In spite of progress towards social justice the 20th century, our societies remain unjustly stratified. Racial and ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQ communities, non-citizens, the disabled, the poor, and others are categorically disadvantaged; and this disadvantage is systematic and durable. There is no doubt that both individuals and social institutions play a role in causing this stratification. But persistent inequality is not simply a result of the bad or unjust actions of individuals or badly structured institutions. Unjust social practices, social norms, and social meanings are an important part of the story. In this seminar we will consider how injustice is enacted in the social domain, how ideology plays a role, and what is required for ideology critique.
Seminar meets Wednesdays, 3-6pm, April 1 - May 20.
