Philosophy, Diversity and Recognition

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

This course is a philosophical investigation of different conceptual frameworks concerning the problems of marginalization and discrimination due to race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, Indigenous identity, or socioeconomic status. Is it enough to address the problem of marginalization in terms of equality, equity, and legal constitution? Can law or policy change discriminatory attitudes and unconscious bias? Would a different approach based on a politics of recognition, identity, or difference be more effective?
