Description:

The course begins with an overview of different perspectives toward social justice. We then spend the major part of the course focusing on two to three case studies such as Laurence Vale's "From the Puritans to the Projects" (a history of public housing in Boston). In the next part we look at how social justice planning is practiced in different countries (e.g. Scotland). In the final part of the course we examine how social justice themes have been presented in different films such as "Chinatown" and "Sunshine State."
