ECO 181 - Inequality, Power, and Justice

Description
This course gives students an opportunity to critically explore the themes of Inequality, Power, and Justice through both academic learning and community engagement. Topics covered fall within two interrelated groupings: a) racial/ethnic and indigenous struggles in North America, and b) global inequality as illustrated in discourses of displacement, migration, and refugee resettlement. Readings come from economics, postcolonial studies, history, and anthropology, among other disciplines. Students grapple with interesting practical dilemmas as well as abstract philosophical questions. No prerequisites.
