ATDV - 201. Foundations of Social Justice

3 credit(s)
This course will provide students with the knowledge and appreciation of the mission and values of Maria College. Students will examine contemporary social justice issues with specific, but not exclusive, reference to the Critical Concerns of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas: care for the earth, justice and care for women, immigration, anti-racism and non-violence. To enable students to critically reflect on these social justice concerns, they will examine philosophical and theological theories within the Catholic, religious and secular, traditions. Students will apply the principles of Catholic Social Teaching as a motivation and context for service and advocacy. Students will receive a foundation in theological reflection to facilitate deeper learning from service opportunities in 160 future courses. (Note: This course is taken at Maria College as RES 201.)

Note: Offered by Maria College. Specialized professional courses, restricted to students who have been admitted into the Nursing Program.
