This course covers contemporary issues around global justice and ethics. There are three parts to the course. Weeks 1-4 cover various theories of justice and the idea of justice “as failure.” In this first part, we will examine and evaluate contemporary theories of justice, especially racial justice, disability justice, and environmental justice. During weeks 5-8, we will explore the global refugee crisis and discuss individual and collective ethical responsibility. In weeks 9-14, we will contrast punitive justice with restorative and transformative justice, and discuss mass incarceration as a form of structural injustice. By employing methods of genealogy and critical phenomenology, we will ask: What does it mean to live “a good life” in a globalizing world? What does moral agency consist of in a context where we are inevitably implicated in power relations? Can one live ethically under global capitalism?
