Justice

Patti McGill Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies

The Justice Semester explores the interrelationships between the institutions and individuals operating in the criminal justice system. It considers the problems of the civil justice system, the moral and philosophical aspects of justice, and the role of punishment and rehabilitation in society. The semester sweeps students into the political storm that surrounds issues of justice. Ideologies of justice are varied and impassioned. Whenever possible, seminars will feature speakers with opposing points of view, providing balance and clarity. Students will consider what needs to be changed in our society to improve justice, and some ways that changes could occur.
