PHIL 21200 - Race, Gender, and Justice

Course Credit: 1
(WGSS)
RACE, GENDER AND JUSTICE This course examines various historical and contemporary attempts to theorize race and gender and answer the questions ‘what is race?’ and ‘what is gender?’ Further, we will look at the ways in which race and gender pose problems for traditional conceptions of justice and inquire into the degree to which these problems warrant substantive revision of our favored theories of justice. Authors discussed include W.E.B. DuBois, Alain Locke, Franz Fanon, Anthony Appiah, Iris Marion Young, and Nancy Fraser. Fall. [AH, C]
