Description

What does social justice mean today? What has it meant historically? What is the relationship between social regulation and individual rights? This course explores how American policymakers have implemented their responsibility to assure social welfare in the areas of labor relations, workplace safety, wages and working hours, and social protection programs. Readings will include court cases and other primary sources drawn from historical debates addressing the aims of the "social state" and the meaning of social justice.

Course Requirements:

Assessment will be based on short reading responses, active participation in discussion, group presentations, and essay assignments that will be submitted via Canvas during a designated time frame.
