Description

Completion of this course will involve: i) Understanding the nature of social justice (and injustice) with the inability to identify relevant practices across a range of cultural settings. ii) Comprehension of various forms of forgiveness (especially shallow vs. authentic forms), techniques for fostering forgiveness and its benefits. iii) Investigation of the role of memory (or lack thereof) in both justice and forgiveness, e.g. the role of memorials in preventing future injustice, the impossibility of forgiveness if injustice is forgotten or denied, etc.
