The aim of the Social Justice Theory Workshop is to enable sustained exploration in the theory of social justice. It addresses topics such as the articulation of ideals and principles of economic, political, gender, race, environmental, and cultural justice; the critique of inequality, domination, exploitation, and alienation; and the illumination of political institutions, practices and processes of transformation that might foster progressive change.
Workshop papers will be pre-circulated, and participation implies a commitment to reading the papers in advance.
The workshop will be in person. Places are limited. If you would like to participate, please send your name to Christiane Bailey (sjc@concordia.ca) by May 1, 2023.
The workshop will take place in the seminar room of the Library Building (LB-362) and the food will be served in the adjacent Friends of the Library Room (LB-361).
