Critical Perspectives on Social Justice and the Common Good (Minor)
University of Saskatchewan
Description
The Minor in Critical Perspectives on Social Justice and the Common Good is an interdisciplinary course of study using the collected insights of various academic disciplines. It is designed to prepare students to be responsible critics of contemporary societies and effective agents for positive social transformation. Students reflect on the causes and structures of injustice and approaches to social change at interpersonal, communal, national and global levels. As part of their course of study, students critically examine historical and contemporary misappropriation and abuse of the constructs of social justice and common good. Through community service-learning this minor engages faculty, students, and community partners in local and international responses to inequality and marginalization.
