Desc:The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive, graduate level introduction to some of the significant literature on justice in contemporary political philosophy. We will focus on the accounts found in Rawlsian liberalism, republicanism, and feminism. Beyond understanding and evaluating some of the central and defining texts and themes, we will pursue the subsequent debates and themes that arise between them. Primary texts will include: Justice as Fairness: A Restatement (Rawls), On The People's Terms (Pettit), and Toward a Feminist Theory of the State (MacKinnon). We will, in addition, read contemporary engagements with these works through articles, to be assigned on the basis of themes the class, collectively, wishes to pursue. Prerequisite: graduate standing or permission of the instructor.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
