UNV 101: Section 18

Course Description:

We’ve all seen the way that justice is portrayed on television, but what does justice look like in our communities? In this course, students will investigate the meaning of justice as it applies to issues like crime, the economy, education, and housing. Drawing from academic research, public policy, media materials, and lived experiences, students will engage in activity based-learning assignments to critically examine the role of governmental agencies, businesses, and nonprofit organizations in justice and injustice in our communities. Students will explore the participatory nature of justice and reflect on how their actions can contribute to a more just world.
