This class will introduce students to key definitions, theories, and practice of justice in education. Using a combination of philosophical and political theory-based analyses of the features of justice: fairness, equity, representation, responsibility, and difference, among others, readings invite students to consider how education and schooling can help to nurture democratic ties and equity. Drawing on a range of historical events and policy documents, this course will enable students to understand different definitions and applications of theories of justice.
