RE 694
Global Justice in Unjust World
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.
