This course provides a foundational framework to explore the origins of social justice theory, the research surrounding social justice movements and the historic distribution of social resources that result in injustice and disparity. Course content immerses students in the defining tenants of social justice and its movements, the dimension and scope of the movements, the criterion required for action, the salience of group and individual motivation towards justice, the capacity to form justice judgements, the cognitive and behavioral reactions to injustice and the cross-cultural generalizability of justice considerations.
