This course will investigate multiple dimensions of equality and justice through a broad exploration of texts in classical, modern, and contemporary political theory. Some of the questions raised by this course will include, does an abstract principle of equality necessarily lead to just outcomes? How do political societies negotiate between multiple and competing claims of justice? What role does power and privilege play in these debates? It will begin by looking at foundational texts in political theory and then offer a broad range of critical perspectives such as race, colonialism, gender, and more.
