Course Description
The seminar asks what role property plays in attaining (or impeding) the goals of housing, economic, and environmental/ecological justice. We will discuss property laws relationship with systemic inequality and social justice and then investigate: 1) housing justice in American cities; and 2) economic and environmental/ecological justice in America and globally. At the end of the semester, we will take stock of the various problems we have investigated, reflect on the relationships between social, economic, and environmental/ecological justice and between domestic and global justice, and explore a justice framework for an interconnected world. The seminar is highly interdisciplinary and uses movies and readings from law, sociology, anthropology, economics, geography, and philosophy.
