Students explore themes of human rights and social justice. Students enhance their engagement with social change towards justice and fairness at local, national and transnational settings. Students examine various relevant theoretical approaches such as universalism/relativism, equity, diversity and inclusion, intersectionality, distributive justice, critical race theory, disability theory, feminist analysis and the role of social and political structures. Thematic areas may include practical application of theoretical approaches in international and domestic contexts, such as human rights laws, social movements and activism, human rights procedures, torture and lack of legal process, standards and remedies, the duty to accommodate, access to justice, disability rights, governance and transnational governance, Aboriginal rights and international human rights.
