Interdisciplinary Approaches to Social Justice (Social Science)

Credit: 3 hours.

This Grand Challenge Learning experience course is part of a 3-year pilot and is certified for General Education credit for Social Science. Students in this course will explore "cultures of debt" at local, urban, national, and global levels. Beginning with the explosion of student debt, and closing with world networks of debt and inequality, our encounters with this grand challenge will be powerfully illuminating as well as "hands on." Students will learn what leading sociologists, economists, political scientists, and journalists propose to address growing inequality. They will collaborate on and publish "StoryCorps"-style audio recordings and feature-length magazine articles based on their own investigative work. Prerequisite: Restricted to first-time new freshmen.
