SOCIAL JUSTICE RESEARCH

Writing-intensive course for Arrupe scholars designed to provide the opportunity to research a specific social justice issue in depth. Students develop a reading list, demonstrate understanding of the academic literature on a chosen topic, and write a substantial research paper on an issue of the student’s choice. Papers will investigate the causes of the chosen social justice topic, as well as ways in which advocates have attempted to address this issue in the past. This course will provide an academic understanding of the topic each student plans to address through the capstone senior advocacy project.LINK with PL 319.
