Certificate: Social Justice and Human Rights

When power starts to shift dramatically, whether in developing countries or in developed countries, advancing social justice can prove a contradictory process. Justice, the rule of law, peace and equal rights - including sexual and reproductive health rights, the right to development or the right to political participation - may be promised, whilst simultaneously injustices, violence and exclusions continue to shape people’s daily lives.

The course work in this theoretically and methodologically rigorous program examines social issues in contexts defined by multiple and intersecting forms of social identity and disadvantage, including gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality and nationality. The course offers critical reflections on issues relating to gender, human rights, conflict and social mobilization, which are all key to social justice. The Social Justice addresses economic, political, legal, social, cultural and historical underpinnings of social justice.
