SOCIAL CHANGE, SOCIAL JUSTICE

This course explores some of the major concepts that circulate in movements for social change and social justice. It asks how people negotiate conflict, ambivalence, complicity, and contradiction in working both within and against a number of organizations and institutions. It focuses on questions of representation and asks whose voices, whose stories, and whose knowledges are included and excluded in complex social movements, investigating how that matters and to whom in working towards social justice.
