EDLA 7001 Leadership for Social Justice in Education


3 semester hours

This course examines various approaches to conceptualizing, interpreting, and making operational social justice. The course will review the historical development of the concept of social justice in an interdisciplinary manner. Particular attention will be given to: critically competing ethical and religious theories of justice; sociological factors of schools as institutions of injustice and cultures that can promote an ethos to further justice; the relationships of the ethical theory of justice of educational institutions; and the examination of pedagogy for social justice. The goal of the course is to bring together ethics, sociology of education, and concrete pedagogy.
