POLI 134 SC - Infrastructures of Justice
This research seminar focuses on the question, “Do markets result in just outcomes?” Most answers to this question seem to be virtually predetermined, but focus little attention on the question, “Under what conditions do markets result in just or unjust outcomes?” The premise here, to be explored through the students’ original case study research projects, is that markets as deeply embedded societal structures simply perpetuate underlying social conditions, be they just or unjust. Examples include white supremacy, patriarchy, land and asset distribution derived from colonial and slave plantation systems. However, markets can also reinforce social justice whether through, for example, community-based development projects or marketable permits for industrial pollution.
