About this course

This is an Enduring Question course and is open to FRESHMEN only. You must take both ENGL1729 and UNAS1719. What is justice? In these paired courses, we will consider the role that lawyers and authors play in illuminating the complex issues underlying the concept of justice. Through the study of works of philosophers, political scientists, novelists, and dramatists, we will explore how societies define justice as well as an individual's responsibility when they confront injustice in society.
