Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This seminar aims to provide the students with the necessary theoretical tools to analyze and contextualize some of the main discussions revolving around the concepts of inequality and social justice in our global world. The seminar is organized into three main thematic modules. The first module discusses the concept of social justice with references to the politics of representation and political rights. The second and third modules will be based on the conceptualizations of socio-economic rights based on workplace and housing. In the seminar, students will read and interpret relevant literature, as well as analytically present one text. At the end of class, they will develop and write a book review on one of the books read in class. Students are expected to send short responses (3-4 sentences) to the readings or visual material before/after class.
